Matt Berninger’s second solo album Get Sunk is out at the end of May, and lead single “Bonnet Of Pins” stirred up a lot of excitement among National fans (including us). The next single is good as well. “Breaking Into Acting” pairs Berninger with Meg Duffy, aka Hand Habits, whose vocals intermingle beautifully with his as they sing about the artificiality of performance and the dead-eyed quest for fame: “Your mouth is always full of blood packets / You’re breaking into acting / I completely understand.”
