With his debut solo album ‘Serpentine Prison’ arriving on 16th October, The National’s Matt Berninger is giving us the latest glimpse at what to expect, sharing new track ‘One More Second’.
Produced by Booker T. Jones, Matt says of the record’s creation, “I sent [friend and collaborator Booker T. Jones] a few rough demos of originals that I had started working on with some old friends, including the songs ‘Serpentine Prison’ and ‘Distant Axis’. Booker responded to those demos right away and encouraged me to keep writing and digging deeper into that stuff. Six months later we had twelve originals and seven covers. Everyone I had been working with on these songs came to Venice, CA, and we recorded it all in 14 days.”
