Nation of Language is an entrancing blend of post-punk and synth-pop hailing from Brooklyn, New York. The trio, comprised of singer-songwriter and keyboardist Ian Devaney, his wife and bassist Aidan Noell, and drummer Michael Sui-Poi, has been carving a distinct niche in the indie music scene since their formation. The band's genesis can be traced back to Devaney's previous involvement with indie rock band The Static Jacks, but it was the shift to the more synth-oriented soundscape that marked the inception of Nation of Language.

Drawing inspiration from the moody synths of new wave acts and the raw emotional energy of post-punk, Nation of Language has unleashed a string of well-crafted tracks that resonate with depth and nostalgia yet feel undeniably contemporary. Their discography showcases a masterful command of melodic hooks and introspective lyrics, with recent releases such as the reflective "Strange Disciple," and the stirring "Across That Fine Line," further solidifying their stance in the music landscape. The band's ability to reshape their sound through various remixes, like the "Spare Me the Decision (Sextile Remix)" and "Weak In Your Light (Daniel Avery Remix)," demonstrates their versatility and appeal across different audiences. With their album "A Way Forward," they continue to explore new territories in sound and narrative, cementing themselves as a band to watch in the panorama of modern alternative music.
