and equally amazing video

high violet - 260410

the new national album comes out on may 11th (mark in your agenda!) .. but now already streaming from the nytimes website (great bands choose great means of communication), here two of my (already) favorite songs, two times rather slow but so nice ones ..

spring is in the air - 260410

(ok, not really today, but still ..) time for a happy track .. listen to this and immediately you start singing and drumming along .. animal arithmetic, the second track from jonsi's solo album (sigur ros singer), which is more cheerful than the bands work

new national single - 120410

hooray :)

and already the best outro of 2010



and the opening track of the upcoming album .. with funny hand shaking at the end ..
