Listen: The National’s High Violet Now Streaming
Alex Moore :: Friday, April 23rd, 2010 10:30 am
At 10am this morning, The National’s High Violet became the first ever record to premiere as a stream on the the New York Times. Listen for free here until April 27.
In a move redolent of Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable events, the band will take over a vacant space at 13 East 4th Street in Manhattan for four nights to host an event series they’re calling the “High Violet Annex” when the album releases on May 11. There are many things to love about this band, but it’s this kind of embodiment of the spirit of New York rock and roll that makes The National a quintessential New York band rather than just another band from New York, and makes the New York Times a perfect venue for the High Violet premiere. No details are available yet on the High Violet Annex, but stay tuned for more. Keep reading for spring and summer tour dates.
