Silver Alert project gets Berninger in to sing

If Grinderman is the uncle who you'd invite to your wedding only for him to woo your virginal cousin, then the National is the more refined coves who'd be found with a no-smoking sign dangling off his pipe after a few Hobgoblins. This unholy meeting is well heard in this excellent take on 'Evil', created by Silver Alert who are, interestingly, a project seemingly comprised of Grinderman's Jim Sclavunos and fellow Greek-American Peter Mavrogeorgis, a handsome fellow we last encountered fronting the excellent New York trio Bellmer Dolls. The National's Matt Berninger sings. Listen via the NME.com.
