In the magazine June 2013

Featuring The National, Disclosure, Gold Panda, Waxahatchee, Jagwar Ma and more.

The National are a band in rude health. ‘Trouble Will Find Me’, their sixth album, is undoubtedly the sound of a group in the best form of their lives, so what better time to discover just what’s gone into their career so far?

In the brand new issue of DIY, Danny Wright spoke to Matt Berninger and co. in a private members’ club in central London about taking a break from the band, prioritising family, and returning to the studio still thriving on the success of previous record ‘High Violet’.Elsewhere in our June issue, we travel around the world with Gold Panda, get introduced to Waxahatchee and smash some glass with Disclosure. You’ll spot us heading into the icy wilderness with Empire Of The Sun and going down under with Jagwar Ma.Not only that, but we kick off festival season in style by visiting not one, not two, but three festivals, whilst finding time to check out our NY favouritesVampire Weekend and Yeah Yeah Yeahs when they visited London town.Oh, and there’s also reviews of the latest albums to come from Queens Of The Stone Age, Daft Punk and Laura Marling amongst a whole load more.
