The National’s Matt Berninger announces new solo album & tour, shares “Bonnet of Pins”

The National vocalist and lyricist Matt Berninger has announced a new solo album, Get Sunk, due out May 30 via Book/Concord (pre-order on vinyl). It’s his second solo album, the follow up to 2020’s Serpentine Prison, and he made it with producer and engineer Sean O’Brien, who also co-wrote some of it songs. Get Sunk also features contributions from 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. See the cover art and tracklist below.

The first single is the propulsive and immediately appealing “Bonnet of Pins,” which you can hear below.

Berninger also announced a tour for Get Sunk, which will find him joined by the band he made the album with, and Ronboy opening the shows. See all dates below.

The NYC show is at Webster Hall on May 30. Tickets for that and all dates go on sale Friday, March 14 at 10 AM, with various presales starting Wednesday, March 13 at 10 AM.
