Nation of Language just released “Wounds of Love”, “Happy to bring you Wounds of Love – the second single from our next album, “A Way Forward”, due out November 5th 2021. Nation of Language are an American indie pop band formed in Brooklyn in 2016. The group consists of Ian Richard Devaney (vocals, guitar, percussion), Aidan Noell (synth, vocals) and Michael Sue-Poi (bass).
Since 2018, Devaney has also been the lead vocalist for Machinegum, a side project created by The Strokes drummer, Fabrizio Moretti. Moretti provided the drumming on the Nation of Language tracks “Indignities” and “Sacred Tongue”.
Devaney and Sue-Poi were both members of The Static Jacks, but the band became inactive after the release of their second album. Devaney was inspired to start a new project after hearing “Electricity” by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in his father’s car, a track he listened to in his childhood. What started out as Devaney “fooling around” on a keyboard later evolved into Nation of Language, with the addition of Devaney’s partner Noell and former Static Jacks bandmate Sue-Poi.
The band released a number of singles from 2016 through to 2019, before releasing their debut album Introduction, Presence in May, 2020
Released July 8th, 2021
Written by Nation of Language
“A Way Forward“, their second full-length album, will be released November 5th, 2021.
