Serpentine Prison marks the striking solo debut of Matt Berninger, renowned as the frontman of The National. Produced by the legendary Booker T. Jones, this 2020 release finds Berninger blending elements of rock, folk, and country, channeling a deeply personal and introspective sound recorded in studios across California, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Inspired by classic records like Willie Nelson’s Stardust, Berninger’s songwriting on Serpentine Prison is intimate and evocative, exploring themes of longing, hope, and resilience. With contributions from collaborators such as Andrew Bird and a lush, warmth-filled production, this album stands as a compelling showcase of Berninger’s signature lyrical depth and emotive vocals.
