The Brooklyn-based trio Nation of Language is rapidly gaining global support with their passionate, danceable sound, reimagining new wave and post-punk with a contemporary sensibility. Frontman Ian Devaney's powerful vocals and uplifting synth melodies have been described as a "ray of hope" in an age of anxiety and cynicism.Their career has evolved alongside the concept of "transport." Their debut album was likened to a "car," their follow-up to the krautrock-esque propulsion of a "train," while their latest album, "Strange Disciple," is told from the perspective of a "pedestrian" traveling through various locations. Produced by LCD Soundsystem's Nick Millheiser, this album focused on analog equipment and tape recording. It marks a shift from their previous straightforward synth pop sound to a deeper sound, incorporating groovy bass and shoegaze-inspired guitars. This album, which explores themes of unhealthy passions such as "obsession" and "infatuation," resonates with their live performances, which have become more dynamic since the pandemic. Their stage performances, described as "half the audience dancing, half crying," are now dominating major festivals around the country. Nation of Language is now a band of the moment, transcending the boundaries of synth pop and breaking new ground.
