Heretical it may be, but Assouf faintly reminds me of a stripped-down, slowed-down Led Zepplin track. I’m glad you like the Tinariwen disc. My favorite song on it is the penultimate track, Assouf.

Haven't listened enough to compare it Alligator, but its definitely not worse. I can second The National . . . heard it a few weeks ago and a few times since, and it’s very good.

It's available outside the US today, available in the US tomorrow. Check my post about it last week, the Pitchfork review today or Joe's review that will post tomorrow. It's an extremely good record. I dunno yr exact tastes, Daniel, but if you dig, say, Tindersticks and Neil Young then I think you'll like it lots. The first two songs are my faves. Oh, and by the way, I like the Tinariwen record quite a bit! Through the first two songs it felt too self-consciously "world music" to me (if that makes any sense), but I finally just relaxed and let the album come to me. Listened to it several times over the weekend. Good stuff, and thank you! The National record is incredible. It’s available outside the US today, available in the US tomorrow.
