Our Take

Nation of Language's latest offering, "Strange Disciple," is a sonic journey that takes the listener on a wild ride through synth-pop wonderland. With their infectious melodies and catchy hooks, this Brooklyn-based trio has crafted an album that is both nostalgic and futuristic, like a time machine that transports you to a neon-drenched dance floor in the 80s.

Lead singer Ian Devaney's vocals soar effortlessly over the pulsating beats and shimmering synths, drawing comparisons to the likes of New Order and Depeche Mode. Tracks like "September Again" and "Across That Fine Line" are sure to get your feet tapping and your body moving, while slower, more introspective songs like "A Different Kind of Life" showcase the band's versatility and depth.

But don't be fooled by the retro vibes, Nation of Language are no mere imitators. They bring their own unique twist to the synth-pop genre, blending elements of post-punk and new wave to create a sound that is all their own. "Friend Machine" is a perfect example of this, with its infectious chorus and driving rhythm that will have you hitting repeat again and again.

In a sea of mediocre synth-pop bands, Nation of Language stand out as true disciples of the genre. "Strange Disciple" is a testament to their talent and dedication, and a must-listen for fans of intelligent, innovative music. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to lose yourself in the infectious grooves of Nation of Language. Cheers, darlings.
