[ad_1]
New York’s Nation Of Language, which was a group to watch in 2018, are back with the announcement of their second effort A way forward follow the 2020s Presentation, Presence. The lead single “Across That Fine Line” was released today, it’s a full-bodied synth track with a post-punk vibe.
For this record, the band experimented with their ârelationship to 70s music, through the prism of krautrock and early electronic music,â as singer-songwriter Ian Devaney explains. Read what he said about “Across That Fine Line” below.
‘Across That Fine Line’ is a reflection on that moment when a non-romantic relationship turns into something different. When the air in the room suddenly seems to change in an indefinable way. It’s kind of a celebration of that certain joyful panic and uncertainty that arises right after.
Sonically, it’s supposed to feel like you’re rolling down a hill, just out of control. I had listened to a lot of Thee Oh Sees at the time of writing it and admired the way they overloaded the krautrock beats and imbued them with a sort of mania, which seemed like an appropriate vibe to work with and make our own.
