Our Take

Matt Berninger has finally stepped out from the shadow of The National with his debut solo album, Serpentine Prison. The record sees Berninger explore new sonic territory, blending his distinctive baritone vocals with dreamy instrumentation to create a moody, introspective soundscape.

From the opening track "My Eyes Are T-Shirts," Berninger sets the tone for the album with his haunting lyrical imagery and melancholic melodies. The lead single, "Distant Axis," showcases Berninger's ability to create poignant, emotive songs that resonate with listeners on a deep level.

Throughout Serpentine Prison, Berninger collaborates with a stellar lineup of musicians, including Booker T. Jones and Walter Martin, whose contributions add layers of depth and texture to the songs. Standout tracks like "One More Second" and "Take Me Out of Town" highlight Berninger's unique songwriting style, combining introspective lyrics with catchy hooks.

Overall, Serpentine Prison is a compelling listen that showcases Berninger's growth as a solo artist. Fans of The National will appreciate Berninger's signature sound, while newcomers will be drawn in by the album's infectious melodies and evocative storytelling. This is a record that demands repeated listens, each one revealing new layers of emotion and complexity. Matt Berninger has truly come into his own with Serpentine Prison, solidifying his place as a formidable talent in the world of indie rock.

About the artist

Matt Berninger

Matt Berninger is a walking paradox wrapped in a tweed jacket. Best known as the mesmerizing baritone frontman of The National, Berninger has a knack for turning melancholy into melodies that tug at your heartstrings like a lovesick puppy. With his distinctive crooning vocals and introspective lyrics, Berninger has become one of indie rock's most cherished icons. Whether he's belting out anthems of heartbreak and longing or waxing poetic about the mundanity of suburban life, Berninger's storytelling prowess is unmatched. But don't let his sombre on-stage persona fool you - Berninger has a wicked sense of humour that can catch you off guard. His dry wit and deadpan delivery have earned him a reputation as one of the wittiest frontmen in the business. Off-stage, Berninger is a walking contradiction. A self-professed introvert who thrives on the energy of live performances, he's equally at home sipping whiskey in a dimly lit bar as he is serenading thousands of adoring fans. As a solo artist, Berninger continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations. His recent collaborations with artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift have shown a new side to his artistry, proving that there's no limit to his creative capabilities. So, buckle up, dear readers, because Matt Berninger is here to take you on a wild, emotional rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of the human experience. And trust me, you won't want to miss a single moment.
