What
White Oak is proud to welcome indie-rock stalwarts The National to the lawn this weekend. The band started alt-country adjacent with their first few releases before really finding their footing as a brooding, pseudo-post-punk group with 2005’s still-excellent Alligator. This year’s I am Easy to Find finds National frontman and askew lyricist Matt Berninger taking a backseat to a rotating cast of female vocalists, a bold move for a band so entrenched in the anxieties of upper-class, yuppie, white males. The National are smart enough to avoid charges of cynicism, however; I am Easy to Find centers non-Berninger voices in a way that makes me wish similar bands would follow suit in striking out in a new direction.
