The National frontman Matt Berninger returns with Get Sunk, his second solo album, released via Book/Concord Records.
Stepping further away from the orchestral melancholy of The National, Berninger delivers a collection of moody, introspective alt-rock songs that simmer in quiet intensity.
While the sonic palette diverges from his band’s signature sound, Berninger’s unmistakable baritone remains the emotional anchor—world-weary, wry, and deeply human.
About the album by Matt:
Get Sunk is a testament to Berninger’s artistry and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience.
Its sonic world blossomed with the help of numerous musicians and friends including 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. Most of them worked together with Berninger and O’Brien in a Silverlake, CA, basement studio.
