I picked up The National’s album “Boxer” after Paste Magazine rated it one of the best albums of the year last year.  It took me a few listens to start to appreciate Matt Berninger’s voice, reminicent of Brad Roberts (Crash Test Dummies) without being as much of a characiture.

While the whole record should be emraced as a whole, the song that hooked me (and many others, it seems) is the song Fake Empire.  This is one of the records that informed my decision making during the production of Deconstruction.
