Cincinnati indie band The National have been around since 1999 but for many listeners, they are still under the radar. Four of the band’s were included on NME’s 2013 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time - (2013); Boxer (2007); Alligator (2005) and (2010).

At the just concluded Latitude Festival in Suffolk, UK (July 14-17), The SuperBock Super Rock Festival Guardian wrote: Parque das Nações, Lisboa, Portugal The only band to headline Latitude twice, the National are in between July 14, 2016 records, and using the summer’s festivals to test-run material from their prospective seventh . The Cincinnati five-piece play five new songs: The Day I Die has a kicky riff and medicated vocals, while Find A Way recalls early highlight, About Today.

Berninger calls an unnamed new one “our prom song”. “Kind of depressing,” he deadpans. “It’s super sexy though.” He spits beer onto the stage during Afraid Of Everyone, which increasingly feels like an anthem for these paranoid times, and they close in time-honoured fashion, leading the crowd in an acoustic rendition of Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks. For all the extracurricular activities on offer at Latitude, nothing beats moments like these.
