Matt Berninger with The National at Manchester Apollo (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
The National‘s Matt Berninger has shared another new track in anticipation of the release of his debut solo album on October 16th.
One More Second is previewing Serpentine Prison after sessions in the company of producer Booker T. Jones and various collaborators including Matt Barrick, Andrew Bird, Mike Brewer, Hayden Desser, Gail Ann Dorsey and Brent Knopf.
“For a long time, I had been writing songs for movies and musicals and other projects where I needed to get inside someone else’s head and convey another person’s feelings,” Berninger has said. “I liked doing that, but I was ready to dig back into my own garbage.”
