Since emerging from Brooklyn in the early 2000s, the National have blended elements of alternative country-rock, Americana, chamber pop, and post-punk into their moody, crafted rock.

Their earliest albums won a dedicated fan base and critical praise before they made an impact on the charts with their fourth LP, 2007's Boxer.
