The National's Matt Berninger and singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers have teamed up for a collaborative track.
Walking On A String was co-written by Berninger, his wife, writer Carin Besser, and musician Mike Brewer for the Zach Galifianakis film Between Two Ferns: The Movie, released on Netflix in September.
The duo recorded it at Sound City in Los Angeles with guitarist Walter Martin, Matt Barrick of the Walkmen on drums, while production was handled by Bridgers alongside Tony Bery and Ethan Gruska.
