Matt Berninger's dropping surprise EPs now, which is exactly the kind of move that keeps things interesting in an increasingly predictable music landscape. The National frontman clearly isn't content resting on last year's album, so Type It Up arrives as a cheeky little full stop on this chapter of his solo work, and that's rather refreshing to see from someone with his standing. If you've been following his solo journey, this is worth digging into without overthinking it, because surprise releases mean there's no hype machinery to wade through. Cledvibes Radio listeners who appreciate artists that do things on their own terms should definitely have their ears on this one.
