I was asked a few weeks ago by an acquaintance. Yes I like. "Then you listen here> BoxerThe NationalNun, my friend was not right. At least, not necessarily with the comparison to Tom Waits. Parallels there are at best in sophisticated storytelling and the sometimes quirky, sometimes wonderful lyrics. Musically keeping the similarities to my mind yet Most likely in boundaries even with the early "Closing Time Time" But what of acquaintances is absolutely right:.. The disc Likes And great.. Too bad that this band has managed for so long to hide from me, very nice that this game of hide is now complete. "Boxer" is a grandiose disc, never as claimed one reviewer here bogged the excellent melodies, in an acoustic sonic mush. The melodies are partly perhaps a little bulky and raw, they are relatively discreet and therefore mill is not necessarily the first time hear in the ear canal - that they stay with intensive study of the disc where the more lasting. If you like getting good, modern music and is randomly ended up here - listen. Absolutely. Actually, you can not regret it that. Great.
