i am really enjoying the stream of this (Then Came The Morning) on npr and bought the album today.  Anyone familiar with this band?  a member of the national produced.

 

I highly recommend checking out the first listen before it goes away.

Their first album was hit or miss for me, but then I saw them do a 3 song live radio gig at a little cafe last year and was very impressed.  The fact that Aaron Dessner produced and wrote the horn and string arrangements has me very excited for the new album.  I picked it up but haven't listened yet.  They were pretty great on Letterman last night too.

My wife's friend bought her a ticket to a show at small theater in Chicago - it was around Jan,2014 - she knew nothing about them prior to the show -  she said it was a great, great show.

 

They ran into the band before the show in front of the theater and had a nice chat.

Total soul revival stuff going on here.  About a decade ago I was always wondering why more people weren't playing music in that spirit, apparently some other people wondered, and decided to get something going.  I keep hearing R&B/Soul throwback sounds in indie bands these days.
