Watch: Nation Of Language Unleash "The Wall & I" Music Video

Brooklyn post punk/new wave/synth-pop outfit Nation Of Language have unleashed the video for their newest single "The Wall & I"

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Introduction, Presence', set to arrive on May 22. Pre-order your copy here.

Frontman ian Devaney's words: “The hardest part of the creative process for me are those moments when things don’t flow naturally at all, and you just have to sit and slug it out with your own brain, all the while knowing that you might spend hours mining your memories and working through feelings only to end up with nothing useable on the other side. In the time since writing “The Wall & I,” itself a product of many such fruitless hours, I have tried to make a mental adjustment to see the struggle itself as a kind of conceptual or performative dance — to make the conscious choice to spend a whole day locked in battle with my own aspirations wrestling against actual outcomes. As good as it feels to just sit down and knock a song out, there is a different level of satisfaction when you feel like you’ve bled a little bit and truly earned it.."

New Entry: Nation Of Language Premiere New Single "September Again"

Brooklyn post punk/new wave/synth-pop outfit Nation Of Language have premiered their new single "September Again"

The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Introduction, Presence', set to arrive on May 29. Pre-order your copy here.

“'September Again' is about struggling with the feeling that with each passing year you’re only becoming a worse version of yourself - less capable of wonder or grand ambition, less sure of your footing in your own life," says frontman Devaney. "I used to just pick up a book like Crime and Punishment, or detailed histories of the Italian campaign in WWII, and those kinds of artistic/academic adventures now feel so much more daunting for some reason. There is a grit that is required to relentlessly pursue these things like I used to, and I can feel that part of me slipping. I tell myself it’s merely because I’ve picked a lane in life and I only have so much time, but there is always the nagging suspicion that I have, in reality, deteriorated in some meaningful way. "The song comes out of this war within myself where one part of me is desperately wanting to get back there while another part is only looking to what lays ahead in the life I’ve made for myself."
