Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers

Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers (2021 Remaster) - The Nationals second album, Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers (2003) proved a leap forward from 2001s eponymous debut, showing a band adept at delivering warm embraces and gut punches in equal measure. With word of mouth now spreading on the band, critics proved equally enthusiastic. Pitchfork in their glowing review called it a Gorgeous train wreck that Lives up to its blunt title (with) Matt Berningers self-effacing barbs matched by the bands equally potent hooks, while Uncut also became early champions saying the album was A genuine treasure... Livid as a bruise, this is brave, desperate, beautiful music.
