Nation of Language – Dance Called Memory (Loser Edition, Clear vinyl)

The Sub Pop debut by acclaimed NY band Nation of Language is a spectral, spacious exploration of the possibilities of synth-driven music. Their prior album, 2023’s Strange Disciple, catapulted the group from cultural standouts to critical darlings. It was named Rough Trade’s Album of the Year, and Pitchfork wrote that the band “are learning what it means to get bigger and better.” For fans of My Bloody Valentine, Kraftwerk, ‘80s synth-pop, post-punk, new romantic.
