    The shaky camera work is a little off-putting but the music’s great.

    Matt has said in interviews that he hasn’t had any formal vocal training & it’s obvious in his singing but in a good way – he sounds this great even with no backup vocals & only a guitar to accompany him. Love it.

    They actually came to Moscow this Summer and I read an interview they gave in the The Exile, but at that point I’d never heard of them and just umed that they were another droning listless indie band. After listening to Boxer, I regret not having listened to them earlier, I think their music is the soundtrack to every man whose in the twilight of his youth, eye to eye with both his mortality and the fact that there is no reset button in life, the current flows one way. Simply brilliant.

    I caught the National this spring opening for REM in LA and again in San Fran……. they were awesome, went right out and bought Boxer. I have gotten like 10 people to buy the album. Great band

    what brand is his guitar? I love the sound, and am buying a good new one soon…I know that’s probably very expensive, but what’s the brand? Is it a crafter? (wild guess)

    Yep I was one of the three people who knew what the song was, remember the guy who asked you to play some National, that’s me….
