The second album by Andrew Whiteman (frontman and guitarist for Broken Social Scene), National Anthem of Nowhere is such a fantastic record.  I don't know how I stumbled upon this band, probably through Last.fm since it also recommends similar artists to what you are listening to, this was another happy accident.  Becoming very obsessed with this record at the time it was released, especially with Naked & Alone, I instantly fell for this album.  I feel like I speak about albums I like or even love as if they were people I've shared intimate moments with.  With that regard, this is a world-ly type of record because there are a few tracks that are sung in Spanish, which is interesting in itself.  A very easy listening record, I enjoy all that this album has to offer.

Enjoy!
