_The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio

Hey V&V readers! It’s been awhile since my last post, ‘life’ has been extra hectic lately. But, thanks to Willis’ unrelenting ambition V&V strides without me!

I’m happy to make my triumphant return with a new song from The National. They are one of my all time favorite indie bands…next to Spoon of course! I just love Matt Berninger’s baritone voice and how profound their lyrics can be. Maybe not to everyone, but that’s the beauty of music, it can interpreted in almost anyway.

Basically, in this new song “Bloodbuzz Ohio” not much has changed as far as song structure than their previous work. The piano rings over a strumming acoustic and electric guitar riff and hard hitting drum rolls complete the time signatures. All while Matt Berninger’s beautiful baritone protrudes in a distinctive fashion, only to be claimed by The National. As basic as it may sound it’s been the arrangement for alot of The Nationals music. But in this basic dynamic they have an excellent ability to craft some of the most deep and meaningful music out there.
