Listen: The National’s Matt Berninger Guests On New Walter Martin Zoo Song

Matt Berninger has lent a starring role to a new track from The Walkmen co-founder/multi-instrumentalist Walter Martin. ‘We Like the Zoo (‘Cause We’re Animals Too)’ features on Martin’s ‘We’re All Young Together’ album, out 13th May in the US on Family Jukebox.

A playful doozy containing pig oinks and duck quacks, it’s an innocent charmer enhanced by the fact that Matt Berninger steps in midway through to sing the lines: ‘I’m an antelope / And I’m a billy goat / And I’m a porcupine / And I’m a crocodile / And I’m an octopus / And I’m a platypus / And I’m a jaguar / And I’m a grizzly bear.’

To be fair, that kind of prose isn’t dissimilar to the kind of stuff Berninger might come out with after having ‘All The Wine’. Listen below.
