The National frontman Matt Berninger has announced his second solo LP, Get Sunk. The follow-up to 2020’s Serpentine Prison features Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Julia Laws (Ronboy), Kyle Resnick (the National, Beirut), Garret Lang, Sterling Laws, Booker T. Jones, Harrison Whitford, Mike Brewer, and the Walkmen’s Walter Martin and Paul Maroon. It arrives May 30 via Book/Concord. Below, check out the lush, nuanced lead single ‘Bonnet of Pins’, and scroll down for the album cover, tracklist, and Berninger’s upcoming tour dates.
Get Sunk was co-written by engineer Sean O’Brien. “Our hearts are like old wells filled with pennies and worms,” Berninger said of the process behind the record. “I can’t resist going down to the bottom of mine to see what else is there. But sometimes you can get yourself stuck.”
