The National

In July 2014, The National was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Trouble Will Find Me,' released the previous year. This live recording from the Colours of Ostrava festival captures the band in fine form, showcasing their signature blend of melancholy and introspective lyrics. Bearing the weight of emotion, songs like 'I Need My Girl' and 'Graceless' resonate deeply during this performance. It’s interesting to note that by this time, The National had already established themselves as one of the leading acts in the indie rock scene, known for their haunting soundscapes and poignant storytelling. This concert, set against the gritty yet beautiful backdrop of Dolní oblast Vítkovice, highlights their ability to connect with audiences worldwide, further solidifying their reputation as an impactful live band.
