The National are anchored by Matt Berninger's whiskey-soaked baritone, and are arguably at their most captivating when that voice teeters on the edge of a scream. Capturing melancholy and intensity with post-punk instrumentation, the group shed their Americana roots in the mid-'00s and haven't looked back since, landing GRAMMY® recognition, a string of Top 10 albums, and soundtrack appearances on everything from Boardwalk Empire to Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
