#2447 The National - High Violet

This music passed right through me, like so much lately. And it feels so overstuffed as to have no hard edges, blowing by like the wind of a million million molecules of vanishing individual force. But some twine-become-rope backbone, in the form of that bludgeoning baritone, leaves a bruise in the passing.

A deeply, barely-there album that pokes its head up every now and then, even just to deliver the word "lemonworld" and to take out your knees, a whale or dolphin, some thing outside noticing whose sleek form undercuts you just at the moment of least expecting 4/5
