New York post-punkers Nation Of Language will follow up with a new album, their big breakout, the 2021 sophomore album “A Way Forward”, with their new LP “Strange Disciple” to be released this week. The band has already shared the early tracks “Sole Obsession,” “Weak In Your Light,” “Stumbling Still,” and “Too Much, Enough.” And a few days ago, they also covered Aldous Harding’s “Treasure” live-in-studio for SiriusXM. the band have dropped one last track before the LP arrives.
Nation Of Language’s new song “Sightseer” is a graceful, restrained piece of new wave. Ian Richard Devaney’s voice is swaddled in reverb, and he delivers most of his lyrics in a majestic sigh while a gentle bassline and a gleaming keyboard propel him along. It sounds like something that New Order might make if they were in an uncommonly chill mood.
Released on: 11th September 2023 through Play It Again Sam
