Watch the National’s Matt Berninger Perform ‘Bonnet of Pins’ on ‘Fallon’


The National frontman Matt Berninger appeared on 'The Tonight Show' to perform his solo track "Bonnet of Pins."

The National frontman Matt Berninger appeared on The Tonight Show to showcase his solo track “Bonnet of Pins.” The singer performed the layered indie rock tune alongside a live band, occasionally sharing vocals with his keyboardist. Rolling Stone described the album as “politely self-indulgent” in a review, noting, “On Get Sunk, he continues to work the same tastefully tortured alt-rock his main band has always done so well, channeling his most microscopically observed thoughts, pains, hopes, desires, and worries into lovely, lonely tunes like the gentle rocker ‘Bonnet of Pins,’ the orchestral folk tune ‘Breaking Into Acting,’ and the jazz-inflected ‘Silver Jeep. Berninger will head out on the road in support of Get Sunk this spring, with a North American tour kicking off May 19 in Seattle and wrapping May 30 in New York City.
