The National To Release New Album, The Boxer, In May

Billboard reports today that Brooklyn indie rockers, The National, will relase their second album, "The Boxer", on May 22. Their previous release, Alligator, is one of my favorite albums, and if you haven't heard it yet, track it down.

"Boxer" features a guest turn by Sufjan Stevens, who plays piano on "Racing Like a Pro" and "Ada." Padma Newsome helped arrange trumpet, flute, clarinet and strings, while Doveman's Thomas Barlett chipped in on keyboards and Marla Hansen sang backup on a number of tunes."
