Which alternative rock band released the 2010 album "High Violet"?

The National released the 2010 album "High Violet." It is the American alternative rock band's fifth studio album, issued in Europe on May 10, 2010, and in North America on May 11 through the independent label 4AD.

The band produced the album themselves, working with Peter Katis at their Brooklyn studio and at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Its layered arrangements, orchestral textures, and Matt Berninger's baritone vocals appear across songs such as "Terrible Love," "Bloodbuzz Ohio," and "Afraid of Everyone." The album cover features a sculpture called "The Binding Force" by artist Mark Fox.

"High Violet" became a major commercial and critical step forward for The National. It debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200, their highest chart position at that time, and an expanded edition followed in November 2010 with bonus tracks, alternate versions, and live recordings. The album is sometimes confused with later releases such as 2013's "Trouble Will Find Me," but its release year is 2010.
