Four years on from the release of their unexpectedly self-assured debut album, NYC based Nation of
Language have attracted a rapidly growing international audience via their danceable and impassioned
take on new wave, post-punk & shoegaze genres. Following the critical acclaim of their their first
LP Introduction, Presence, its 2021 follow-up A Way Forward pushed them to a wider audience—landing
them their late-night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and a string of sold out tours—and
their 2023 record Strange Disciple has continued this momentum, landing Rough Trade’s coveted #1
album of the year spot. Now a mainstay atop lists of the best live acts of recent years, the band continue
to charge synth-first into their latest chapter as a major festival draw at recent iterations of Austin City
Limits Festival, Desert Daze, Pitchfork Festival, Primavera Sound, Corona Capital, Outside Lands,
Bonnaroo and many others.
