Huge fan of The National. I recommend Maps if you want something similar with a slight electronic beat.
I need to get this album. I loved their debut and "Antics" was a little disappointing to me (even though it has my all-time favorite Interpol song in "Evil"). Luckily, I saw them in Nashville when they were a part of the Curiosa Festival (The Cure and bands that were influenced by them) and they were outstanding. I would love to see them again in Nashville at the Ryman. I may have to talk the wife into going to that show.
