I haven’t been a true follower of The National from the get-go.  Maybe I didn’t “get” their sound in the past.

Trouble Will Find Me, the 6th studio album from the Brooklyn based group amazed me thoroughly. Some of the better song-writing that I’ve heard in a long time.

Listen to a few tracks from Trouble Will Find Me, out May 21 on 4AD, after the jump.

And don’t pass over the last and mirific slow love song “Hard To Find.”

Brooklyn’s indie-pop duo MS MR have readied their debut LP, Secondhand Rapture, for a May 14 release. Published by Columbia Records, you can stream the album in it’s entirety below.
