Serpentine Prison

by Matt Berninger

The National's frontman steps out for his solo debut, enlisting legendary soul artist and producer Booker T. Jones to helm the project. The record strips away the tense, polyrhythmic indie rock of his primary band in favor of warm, languid acoustic instrumentation and subtle organ work. It is a profoundly intimate, conversational album that highlights his signature melancholy baritone.
