An hour or so ago a leak appeared on various sites of the new album “High Violet” by The National. I’ve heard the leak and although the quality isn’t great, the album is fucking immense.
The National are aware of this and issued a press release stating that:
“As you may have heard, there is a low quality leak of our new album, High Violet, spreading across the Internet as we speak. We wanted to let you know the New York Times – http://www.nytimes.com – will be streaming the real thing starting Friday April 23rd. We hope you’ll take the time to hear the album at its intended level of quality.
High Violet will be released by 4AD worldwide on May 10th/11th.”
So check back here and at the New York Times on Friday for the full stream and listen to “Bloodbuzz Ohio” and “Sin Eaters” below.
In the meantime, WeAllWantSomeoneToShoutFor is live-blogging his first listen of the whole thing.
