Matt Berninger - Serpentine Prison (October 16, 2020) Album

song is very good

 

Sweet

 

wish I could live inside this man's voice

 

Record out October 2

 

yessss

 

Here for it.

 

booker t producing is WILD

 

Announcement four and a half months out? Hmm, don't like that. Song is great though!

 

Excited to hear this!

 

let’s go

 

Chances of me adoring this record are very high

 

Like this song but I thought this would sound a bit further away from The National.

 

I felt this but also I couldn't properly imagine something with his voice on it that didn't sound like The National (that wasn't El Vy which is an album I don't remember much tbh)

 

Holy shit I completely forgot about that album

 

Yeah, that was the second part of what I was thinking. Matt's voice is just inextricable from The National. With that EL VY album, I really feel like those songs couldn't really exist as The National songs (especially not in 2015 before we had stuff like "Where Is Her Head," "The System..." and "Turtleneck"). Still, very curious to see what else is gonna be up with this album and I'll be just as satisfied if it sounds like a collection of stripped down The National tracks.

 

Hell yeah.

 

yeah don't get me wrong I hope he goes a little off the beaten path, I'd like to be surprised. but the track is nice

 

four months for a rollout jfc
the next single isn't coming out until August!

 

Hope I don't forget about this I really like the single, what a ridiculously long rollout though

 

Very daniel lanois

 

It’s good. Feels a bit more removed from The National than the other single too.

 

lovely song

 

Sounds so much like The Crane Wife lol
