Nation of Language : Dance Called Memory (White/Red Opaque Corona Vinyl)

Synth-pop, minimal wave, post-punk, goth, new romantic - fans and critics alike have dug deeply into their vintage thesauruses to describe the beguiling work of Nation of Language. And if you can't precisely define the band, that's the point. Frontman Ian Richard Devaney has become prodigious in expanding what synthesizer-driven music can evoke, such that his output is as much an extrasensory journey as it is an all-too-human destination. With that experience in mind, he wrote the band's fourth album - the spectral, spacious 'Dance Called Memory' - in the most humble of ways: chipping away at melancholia by sitting around and strumming his guitar. Ultimately, the hope was to weave raw vulnerability and humanity into a synth-heavy album.
