The National – Cherry Tree (CD)
Product Details
Before *Alligator* made them a critical darling and before *Boxer* made them a household name, The National were a Cincinnati-bred band grinding through the indie underground, and *Cherry Tree* captures that hungry, unpolished version of the band at its most direct. "About Today" alone would go on to become one of the most emotionally devastating songs in their catalog, covered widely and placed in film and television, its quiet devastation still hitting exactly as hard as it did in 2004.
Cherry Tree (2021 Remaster) - Released a year before The National broke through with their third album Alligator, 2004's Cherry Tree EP is a thrilling record which -thanks to it's collection of delicate ballads and anthemic crowd-pleasers -sums up what they do best in under 30 minutes. Now a firm fan-favourite, among Cherry Tree's seven tracks are now National classics 'About Today' and 'All The Wine', plus a thrilling live version of 'Murder Me Rachael' that reminds of the band's fearsome early live performances.
