Matt Berninger of The National has shared a music video for “Nowhere Special,” a standout cut from his latest solo album, Get Sunk. The video stars Matt’s brother Tom Berninger (who directed the band’s 2013 documentary/pseudo-autobiography Mistaken for Strangers) donning Matt’s outfit of choice in the clip. “I haven’t seen a performance as good as Tom Berninger’s since Christopher Walken in Fatboy Slim’s ‘Weapon of Choice’ music video,” said Matt, Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” music video’s biggest fan. “And I haven’t seen directing as good as Chris Sgroi’s since Spike Jonze directed Fatboy Slim’s ‘Weapon of Choice’ music video.”
Added brother Tom: “I got to keep the suit. I wear it every day.”
Touring bandmate Ronboy (a.k.a. Julia Laws) also appears in the visual and said: “When Matt asked me to take part in a video starring one of my favorite actors, Tom Berninger, I knew I had to sharpen my silver screen chops. Their sibling dynamic is as sincere and entertaining off screen as it is on.”
