In Depth by David Edwards

The National, Manchester Apollo (11/11/2013)

In Depth by David Edwards

The National now operate on their own instinctive level: a tightly-wound balance between beauty and fury continuously shifting with a fluid dynamism, as illustrated perfectly by the constant three-way battle tonight between Bryce Dessner’s jagged, jarring lead lines, Bryan Devendorf’s hypnotic drum-punches and Matt Berninger’s voice – stripped of the darker brooding recorded overtones and given license to bark, scream and strain as he slowly warms into his role.»

Parklife Weekender 2013 – The Drowned in Sound Review
