Which indie rock band's 2007 album 'Boxer' includes the song 'Fake Empire'?

The National’s 2007 album “Boxer” includes the song “Fake Empire.” The Brooklyn-based indie rock band released the album as its fourth studio record on May 22, 2007.

“Fake Empire” is the album’s opening track and became one of The National’s signature songs. Its arrangement is built around a distinctive piano pattern, including a four-against-three rhythmic figure, before expanding into a fuller band performance with orchestral color and rising intensity.

The song was written by band members Matt Berninger and Bryce Dessner, while Peter Katis and The National produced “Boxer.” The album also includes “Mistaken for Strangers,” “Apartment Story,” “Slow Show,” and “Squalor Victoria.”

A frequent mix-up is confusing the song’s album date with its single date. “Boxer” arrived in 2007, while “Fake Empire” was released as the album’s third and final single in June 2008. The National performed it on “Late Show with David Letterman” in July 2007, marking the band’s network television debut.
