The National are binging hard on female singers (Podcast)

It’s number 46 in the Nialler9 podcast with Niall and Andrea reviewing new music and talking festival experiences, gigs and for the last time, the outcome of the Starks in Game Of Thrones.

What’s on the table this week

Niall fondly remembers It Takes A Village and Andrea catches Nina Hynes in Lost Lane.

Album of the week: The National – I Am Easy To Find

A year and a half after Sleep Well Beast, The National release their eighth studio album and with that expands in new directions with the help of new female voices like Lisa Hanniga, Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), Sharon Van Etten, Mina Tindle, Gail Ann Dorsey of David Bowie’s band. We review the Cincinnati band’s magnum opus.

Tracks of the week from Slowthai featuring Skepta, Tyler, The Creator; Mac Demarco and AA Bondy.

Plus our final Game Of Thrones discussion examines the problems we had with the HBO show and what we actually enjoyed despite it. We decide, not you Bran.

Closing song: Beauty Sleep – ‘Be Kind’
