 was recorded and released before they had played even a single show.

Originaires de Cincinnati dans l'état d'Ohio (Etats-Unis), les membres de The National mettent leur groupe sur pied à New York (Brooklyn) en 1999. Le groupe se forme autour du chanteur et songwriter Matt Berninger, des frères Scott Devendorf (guitare) et Bryan Devendorf (batterie), des deux autres frères Aaron Dessner (basse, piano) et Bryce Dessner (guitare).  The National, très influencé par le rock alternatif américain, la pop anglaise et même la country-rock, sort son premier album sur, Brassland Records, le label des frères Dessner.

The National ist eine im Jahr 1999 gegründete US-amerikanische Band aus Brooklyn, NY. Ihr Stil wird dem indie-Rock zugerechnet. Ihre musikalischen Einflüsse reichen von Bruce Springsteen bis zu den Tindersticks. Aufgrund der ungewöhnlich tiefen Bariton-Stimme des Sängers Matt Berninger wird The National mit Interpol und den Editors verglichen, deren Sänger in ähnlichen Stimmlagen singen.   The National besteht aus Matt Berninger und den beiden Brüderpaaren Aaron Dessner und Bryce Dessner, sowie Scott Devendorf und Bryan Devendorf.

The National es una banda de post-punk revival/rock alternativo formada en 1999, entre amigos de Cincinnati, Ohio. Sus influencias van desde Bruce Springsteen a Tindersticks. La composición e interpretación de las letras de la banda pertenece a Matt Berninger en un distintivo y profundo tono de barítono. El resto de la banda comprende dos parejas de hermanos, Aaron y Bryce Dessner y Scott y Bryan Devendorf. Padma Newsome, perteneciente a una banda hermana, Clogs, a menudo contribuye con instrumentos de cuerdas, teclados y otros arreglos instrumentales.

I should leave it alone but you're not right
