Matt Berninger Unveils Surprise EP
When artists like Matt Berninger release music, it often follows a predictable cycle. But sometimes, the best discoveries happen when the artist steps outside the established rhythm, offering a surprise that completely shifts the landscape. Recently, National frontman Matt Berninger delivered exactly this kind of sonic detour, releasing a surprise EP that feels like a standalone journey, stepping away from the momentum of his previous work.
This latest offering, titled Type It Up, arrived seemingly out of the blue, providing a fresh collection of tracks that showcase Berninger’s unique voice. The EP features the new solo track Martini Me Fatso, a piece that immediately captures the mood of this new chapter.
Beyond the new material, the EP is a fascinating mix of originals and iconic covers. It includes the new songs Type It Up and Ask For Water, alongside two celebrated covers: New Order’s classic Blue Monday and The Velvet Underground’s timeless Who Loves The Sun.
The collection successfully blends Berninger’s intimate, reflective songwriting with a nod to music history, creating a cohesive yet surprising experience. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of his artistry, proving that even in the midst of an ongoing album cycle, there is always room for unexpected, brilliant creative leaps.
