The National: Rome (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP

"Recorded live (without overdubs) in June 2024 at an architecturally stunning venue named for famed Italian film composer Ennio Morricone, Rome is the definitive live document of The National. The 21-track double album is truly career spanning, and showcases scintillating versions of beloved songs like 'Bloodbuzz Ohio,' 'Don't Swallow the Cap,' 'I Need My Girl,' 'The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness,' 'England' and 'Fake Empire'; plus sharpened readings of recent tracks 'Eucalyptus,' 'New Order T-Shirt,' 'Tropic Morning News' and the boundary pushing 'Smoke Detector.' Reflecting how the band changes setlists significantly from night to night to cast fresh light on hidden gems from the catalog, Rome is marked by rarities such as show opener 'Runaway,' 'Lemonworld,' 'The Geese of Beverly Road,' 'Lit Up' and a tour de force pairing of 'Humiliation' from the critically acclaimed album Trouble Will Find Me into Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers’ 'Murder Me Rachael.' The Rome encore features the election anthem 'Mr. November,' and, from High Violet, 'Terrible Love' and the show-closing fan singalong, 'Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks.' The live album was mixed by the band's longtime collaborator Peter Katis." - 4AD
