The second solo album from Matt Berninger, the voice and beating heart of The National for over 25 years, finds him continue the rich vein of form he rediscovered after a period of writer's block and which lead to 2 excellent National albums in one year. With a voice as distinctive as his, comparisons with the day job are inevitable and much of Get Sunk is analogous to the more stately elements of The National's recent output, no bad thing for sad dad fans of course! Berninger's collaborative instincts have lead to input from the likes of Hand Habit's Meg Duffy and Ronboy's Julia Laws across the record, who provide vocal foils for Berninger's trademark low rumble and add light and shade to another brilliant set of melancholic, witty twilight anthems
