Outside is a collection of singles, EPs and unreleased home recordings by National Park, spanning the years 1997 - 2026. National Park is based around the songs of lead singer John Hogarty (guitarist with The Pastels since 2010), with additional contributions on this album from Scott Walker and Sushil Dade (Future Pilot AKA).
Their music has been described as having some similarities to The Velvet Underground, Galaxie 500 and Yo La Tengo “without sounding like anything else” (Byron Coley, The Wire). They describe themselves as occupying the space between the visceral and the whistleable.
