The National’s Matt Berninger To Collaborate with Booker T. Jones on Debut Solo Record

11:34 AM EDT on October 21, 2019


With the help of Booker T. Jones, The National frontman Matt Berninger will soon strike out on his own with the release of his debut solo LP Serpentine Prison.

"Kind, patient, visionary genius [Booker T. Jones] produced and arranged my solo record. It’s called Serpentine Prison," Berninger wrote via Instagram. "More about it soon but basically I’m the luckiest man in the universe with lots of brilliant friends who can play instermints [sic]. Not worthy!"

In 2011, Berninger contributed to Jones' LP The Road From Memphis, adding vocals to "Representing Memphis" alongside the late, great Sharon Jones.

Presently, there is no official release date for Serpentine Prison, but fans can enjoy a taste of what to come with the release of lead single "Walking On A String," which appeared in the recent Between Two Ferns movie.
