I felt this but also I couldn't properly imagine something with his voice on it that didn't sound like The National (that wasn't El Vy which is an album I don't remember much tbh)
Yeah, that was the second part of what I was thinking. Matt's voice is just inextricable from The National. With that EL VY album, I really feel like those songs couldn't really exist as The National songs (especially not in 2015 before we had stuff like "Where Is Her Head," "The System..." and "Turtleneck"). Still, very curious to see what else is gonna be up with this album and I'll be just as satisfied if it sounds like a collection of stripped down The National tracks.
yeah don't get me wrong I hope he goes a little off the beaten path, I'd like to be surprised. but the track is nice
