The National’s Matt Berninger Returns With New Solo Song ‘Bonnet of Pins’
The National's Matt Berninger has announced his second solo album, 'Get Sunk,' and released the first song, 'Bonnet of Pins.'
“Bonnet of Pins” is a bit of stadium-sized indie rock with driving drums and live-wire guitars that steadily build with a burst of horns and choral backing vocals. The new albumcame about after, as Berninger put it in a statement, “a long period of writer’s block and self-disgust,” during which he got fed-up asking himself, “Why am I like this?” Though not necessarily autobiographical, the album features narrators grappling with questions of identity and how it’s shaped, both on an individual and communal level.
