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 band’s live performances.
