Video: Beirut Joins The National for “Fake Empire”
At a music festival in St. Gallen, Switzerland earlier this month, the National invited friends from Beirut onstage during their headlining set for a seamless, understated team-up on Boxer single “Fake Empire.” Watch a clip from the set’s official webcast above as Zach Condon’s theatrical voice melds beautifully with Matt Berninger’s solemn baritone.
Oh, gosh. This is fantastic. I adore them both as it is, but weren’t aware they were friends.
My fantasy festival lineup is Beirut, The National, Mumford & Sons and Bon Iver, and half of it has actually happened! :)nowai ahmahgad this is so amazing!! I second that fantasy lineup, and would amend it to add Frightened Rabbit.
I love how awkward Matt is on stage. He has these little quarks while he performs. But he has such a wonderful voice…If you have a chance to see them live, seriously, GO.
