REVIEW: The National are back on their depressive Brooklyn indie-rock game with 'First Two Pages Of Frankenstein,' the band’s first new album in four years.
The album takes its title from a serendipitous pull from the bookshelf that helped Berninger unlock the record’s tone after a long period of writer’s block. begins with the hyper-literate monster afloat somewhere in the arctic, and the National, too, have long specialized in turning interstitial moments into widescreen epics.
“Eucalyptus” rejects the terms of a breakup on account of the shared possessions that it would unduly distress. “New Order T-Shirt” flips through cherished visual memories that Berninger keeps with him “like drugs in a pocket.” hits its peak with the dazzling Taylor Swift collab “The Alcott,” a late-night locking of eyes between two old flames. Berningerisms fold over Taylorisms , the low edge in her voice and breathy asides filling in the edges of the song.
