Tulsa-based trio Wilderado have shared an alternate version of their new single, "In Between" featuring Matt Berninger of The National.

The track came about thanks to one of the song’s producers James McAlister, who works closely with The National and their affiliated projects. When McAlister and Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, SYML) first recorded and produced the single in Norman, OK with Wilderado they all thought "In Between" would sound even better with Berninger on the track. The song made its way to him via McAlister and Berninger said yes, and quickly added his contribution.

“Matt is one of my favourite lyricists and singers of all time, plus he’s in one of the coolest bands ever. We’re incredibly grateful and honoured to feature him on this track," says Max Rainer of Wilderado.

"In Between" is Wilderado’s first new music of 2023 and was written by the band during sessions for their forthcoming second album. The song was recorded in Norman, Oklahoma, and produced by Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Belle, SYML) and James McAlister (Gracie Abrams, The National). The same team worked on the new live version of the single that in addition to Pomeroy, features Muskrat Jones (Colter Wall) on the pedal steel guitar.

"In Between" featuring Matt Berninger of The National is out now.
