The National’s new album finally has a title, “High Violet”.  The album is set to be released on 5/11 on 4AD records.   Frontman Matt Berniger told Pitchfork that we can expect a “faster and meaner record” with their latest release.  The band just launched a new website at www.highviolet.com that features five video clips of the band in the studio. The band is sure to be playing the new songs with some old favorites on their spring tour.  The tour kicks off 4/22 with two dates at Richmond, VA’s aptly named “The National” theatre.  We’ll be there and a write up of the show won’t be far behind.  Check out the dates here.
