The National – “Bloodbuzz Ohio” (Music Video) at Pretty Much Amazing

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2011, or our Best Albums of 2011.

And so, the first video from the National’s endlessly beautiful High Violet LP has arrived. I thing about music videos not living up to their aural counter parts, in terms of quality, but there is absolutely nothing to worry about with National’s clip for their Violet lead single “Bloodbuzz Ohio”. The video was directed by Hope hall, Andreas Burgess & Carin Besser. High Violet is out TODAY. You can order the CD or LP from Insound and get a really nifty City Lights T-Shirt.
