These are the two words that came to my mind in order to describe The National - a band that exercise such an amazing restraint in creating such elegantly structured songs and somehow dont let themselves get carried away by the song - perhaps due to Matt Berninger's distincnt and sometimes melancholic baritone and maybe because the five piece band also has 2 pairs of brothers who probably understand each other well enough to keep it together...
its a Muffled Magnificence that makes Coldplay, sound like a loud American band - its like a giant pillow smothered over a nuclear explosion ...
Am absolutely in love with the handful of songs you suggested from this band. Muffled Magnificence gives a good feel of what you are about to hear.
