The National

On March 3, 2011, The National delivered a captivating live performance of 'About Today' at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki. This concert came right after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'High Violet,' which had hit the shelves in May 2010. 'High Violet' marked a significant moment in The National's journey, recognizing them as a prominent force in the indie rock scene. The album's lush instrumentation and introspective lyrics resonated deeply with fans, leading to sold-out shows and a broader audience. Interestingly, the track 'About Today' isn’t from this album but gained popularity during this period, showcasing the band's ability to evoke emotion and connect with listeners, even with older material. It's almost a bittersweet reminder of their distinctive sound, blending melancholy with a sense of hope, a recurring theme in their work.
