The National

  • HWY-001: s/t by The National (black vinyl LP or bundle with poster)

    The vinyl version of The National’s first full-length record has arrived! There were previous pressings previously on colored vinyl & with limited edition posters and stuff. They sold out very quickly. That was cool, but we want everyone to have a chance to get this thing on vinyl. So this version is not a limited edition. It is on black vinyl. But the jacket is still on lovely uncoated paper stock, and it includes a digital download card...

  • HWY-001: The National by The National (CD version)

    Description The National are five displaced Ohioans living in New York—two sets of brothers and one best friend. They play smart, naked, and bracing rock music. No Depression said, “The National has created nearly a dozen picture-perfect Americana bar-soaked gems with its debut album.” Creative Loafing described it as a “merciless hybrid of plaintive American folk with the mordant gallows humor of Nick Cave and Jarvis Cocker.” “Full of simple songs that convey complex emotions,”...

  • HWY-003: Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers by The National (black vinyl LP or bundle with poster)

    This is a vinyl version of The National’s second full-length Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers. For those who care about previous pressings & the  history of this release: in 2003 we pressed up 500 copies of this thing and they sold very slowly but eventually sold out. Later on The National got kind of popular. In spring 2010 we found 500 leftover album sleeves in our warehouse and did a limited pressing which quickly sold...

  • HWY-003: Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers by The National (CD version)

    Description The National are five displaced Ohioans living in New York. They play smart, bracing, and beautiful rock music. Their self-titled debut was hailed throughout the US and Europe by publications ranging from the Village Voice and No Depression to Paris’s Liberation. England’s Kerrang! called it “the stuff underground legends are made of.” Their follow-up is a great leap forward, an omnibus of rock songwriting that is by turns upbeat and downcast, electric and acoustic,...

  • HWY-008: Cherry Tree by The National (black vinyl)

    The 12" vinyl version of The National’s third recording has arrived. This is the second time this record has ever been available on vinyl. (The first was a very limited edition 10" licensed to Shake It Records in the band's hometown Cincinnati, OH.) The jacket is on lovely uncoated paper stock. There is a special edition red-colored vinyl version available only on the Brassland store. Warning: This is not it. This is the version on normal black...

  • HWY-008: Cherry Tree by The National (CD version)

    Description The National’s sophomore album, Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, found the band emerging onto a larger stage. Uncut called it “a genuine treasure” and named it an album of the year; it was hailed by Rolling Stone and the indie media; Magnet, La Liberation (Paris), and the Chicago Tribune were only a few of the publications to tap it for their year-end lists. “About Today” can often be heard as an encore of the...
