The Skinny, Artrocker, NME and numerous British tabloids have also featured rave reviews and thrown their arms towards Nacional in a loving fashion.
Currently recording their debut album with Mother and The Addicts Sam Smith on production duties, it’s already sounding amazing and the band have just signed a production deal with Universal Music through Lo Recordings for their songs Telephone and On T.V to boot. Having received a grant from the Scottish Arts Council to fund recording and mastering, the band are set to tour the UK this summer where they will be showcasing the highly anticipated debut album Greater Inventions to industry and fans alike.
