The National's Matt Berninger has unveiled his reimagined version of "I'm Waiting For The Man", which will appear on I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to The Velvet Underground & Nico.

After performing his version of "I'm Waiting For The Man" on Jimmy Fallon late last year, Berninger has released a studio version of The Velvet Underground and Nico song, which will feature on the upcoming tribute album I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to The Velvet Underground & Nico.

Berninger's cover follows Kurt Vile & The Violators' version of "Run Run Run" that was unveiled earlier this month.

I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground & Nico will also feature contributions from Michael Stipe, Sharon Van Etten with Angel Olsen, Andrew Bird, Lucius, St. Vincent and Thomas Bartlett, Thurston Moore, Bobby Gillespie, King Princess, Courtney Barnett, Fontaines D.C., and Iggy Pop and Matt Sweeney. All of the artists will cover one song from the 1967 original album.

Matt Berninger's cover of "I'm Waiting For The Man" is out now. I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground & Nico will be released 24 September via Verve Records, and is available to pre-order now.
