Nation of Language - Strange Disciple (Clear Vinyl)

Play It Again Sam - PIASR1421LPC

Indie Exclusive Clear Vinyl

Recorded in the East Williamsburg studio of the album's producer Nick Millhiser (Holy Ghost!, LCD Soundsystem), Strange Disciple was completed during the time Nation of Language spent at home, in between runs of live shows throughout this past year.

Unlike their previous two LPs, this time band members Ian Devaney, Aidan Noell, and Alex MacKay, were able to consider the creative choices that would be most compelling to perform on-stage, expanding their new wave, post-punk and synth-powered sound with newfound fervor. They incorporated live drums into the arrangements and more guitar than they ever had before, as they channeled longtime loves of shoegaze and the dark melodrama of troubadours like Leonard Cohen.

For the first time ever, Nation of Language also committed to a completely analog recording process, allowing themselves to accept their imperfections and resist the inclination to overthink the emphatic, euphoric and cerebral style of songwriting "that makes you want to dance and cry at the same time" (Document Journal).
