Product description

The National's sophomore album, Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, is a masterful blend of indie rock sensibilities and poetic lyricism. Released on 2 September 2003 via the esteemed 4AD label, this 45-minute collection of tracks has been reinvigorated with a 2021 remaster, bringing newfound clarity to the band's distinctive sound.

From the opening notes of 'Cardinal Song' to the closing strains of 'Lucky You', The National's unique sonic landscape unfolds, characterised by brooding intensity and wry observational humour. Tracks like 'Slipping Husband' and 'Murder Me Rachael' showcase the band's ability to craft compelling narratives, while '90-Mile Water Wall' and 'Thirsty' demonstrate their capacity for atmospheric, slow-burning introspection.

Throughout the album, The National's genre-bending approach to indie rock is on full display, incorporating elements of post-punk and art rock to create a richly textured sound. With Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, The National cemented their reputation as a formidable force in the indie rock scene, and this reissued edition is a testament to the album's enduring influence and appeal.

This is a 2021 Reissue Remastered released as a LP.

    This version is absolutely stunning, as expected, and the rainbow splatter design is executed beautifully. The album itself is fantastic, in my opinion, it's one of The National's most underappreciated and finest works. It features some of their most adventurous tracks ("Slipping Husband", "Available") and some of their most memorable slow songs ("Lucky You", "Cardinal Song"). If you're already not a fan of The National, this won't win you over, but if you're new to their music, this is a great starting point.
