Christmas Comes Early: The National Demo's from Boxer


This is a The National demos cd that was handed out for free in France when Boxer was released. Really great. Brainy has a completely different ending....crazy. Slow Show is totally different.

Brainy (alternate)

Tall Saint
Rest of Years
Santa Clara
