Nation of Language’s third album, “Strange Disciple”, is somewhere on the horizon, but, for now, we have “Sole Obsession” to gush over. As always, the synths are shimmering, the bass and drums waltz together in perfect harmony and frontman Ian Devaney’s vocals careen like the perfect amalgamation of Bernard Sumner and Andy McCluskey.
It’s a perfect dancefloor number about devotion and human compulsions; delicate, soulful swagger ripe with post-punk undertones. Nation of Language remains an eternal synth-pop powerhouse. NOL keeps surprising me with such lush vocals mixed with etheric beats. And the video is stunning! Can’t wait for the full album!“Sole Obsession” written by Nation of Language
