The National gained a lot of prominence since the release of their 2007 album Boxer, and anticipation is high for their new album High Violet. "Bloodbuzz Ohio" follows all of the subtle, delicate growth patterns that populated many of Boxer's tracks. Inventive drumming adds propulsion to pensive vocals and aching piano chords, and the track builds from simple and unassuming into epic grandeur by the time the coda comes around, with horns and strings sharing time with serrated edge guitars. High Violet will see release on 4AD come May 11.
