Nation Of Language Announce New LP 'A Way Forward', Stream "Across That Fine Line"

Brooklyn post punk/new wave/synth-pop outfit Nation Of Language have announced the release of their second studio album 'A Way Forward'.

The follow-up to last year's excellent debut Introduction, Presence, was produced by Abe Seiferth and Nick Milhiser of Holy Ghost!, and will be out on November 5th featuring their new song "Across That Fine Line". Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about the record, band member Ian Devaney explains:  “A Way Forward is an exploration of the band’s relationship to the music of the ’70s, through the lenses of Krautrock and early electronic music. We aimed to more deeply trace the roots of our sound, hoping to learn something from the early influences of our early influences. Experimenting with how they might be reinterpreted in our modern context—looking further backward to find a way forward.

“We drew a lot from the steady locomotive rhythms of bands like Kraftwerk and Neu!, while also looking to less-propulsive electronic artists like Laurie Spiegel and Cluster. The goal was to have a record that felt like a journey, like being on a train that gets lost in a colorful fog, and then suddenly bursts through into different landscapes."

About the new single he said: “‘Across That Fine Line’ is a reflection on that moment when a non-romantic relationship flips into something different. When the air in the room suddenly feels like it changes in an undefinable way. It’s a kind of celebration of that certain joyous panic, and the uncertainty that surfaces right after it. Sonically, it’s meant to feel like running down a hill, just out of control. I had been listening to a lot of Thee Oh Sees at the time of writing it and admiring the way they supercharge Krautrock rhythms and imbue them with a kind of mania, which felt like an appropriate vibe to work with and make our own.”
