The National: 'New Album High Violet Is Our Best Ever'

The National’s singer Matt Berninger has described their new album ‘High Violet’ as “our best record”.

The LP, which has already been positively received by critics, is released on Monday (May 10).

In an interview with BBC 6 Music, Berninger said the album was helped by the band’s decision to record it at their own pace in a garage next to guitarist Aaron Dessner’s house.

“It was a huge creative leap forward to be able to work at a pace that meant nothing,” he said.

“It could take a month or three years, and we wouldn’t be bleeding money just by doing it.”
