Year in Rock 2013 Nominee: The National

THE NATIONAL
Demons
From: Trouble Will Find Me
Released: May 21

Now, years removed from the blog buzz that threatened to paint The National as a larger than life transcendent experience rather than just a very good band, excitement has been tempered and the band's work can be taken on its own merits. Trouble Will Find Me sees The National doing what they do best; packing in songs that may seem harmless and unassuming until they hit under just the right conditions. Then and only then, they can tear down and build a soul; a truly shining example like Demons is the musical equivalent of the night sky; we may take it for granted most of the time, but in the right circumstances it's majestic and awe-inspiring.
