Brooklyn-based synth pop (revivalists) band Nation of Language has released a second album, A Way Forward. I really like this band. And I confess that they remind me of a lot of things 80s—a mash up of many 80s bands like OMD, Depeche Mode, Ultravoxx and even Roxy Music.

(I’m all for a synth pop revival, by the way! Far as I can tell, it’s been on for a while, now.)

After you get past the opening of the first track, the pace feels a bit less insistent than the songs on Introduction, Presence (2020)—but I haven’t spent a lot of time with the new album, yet. I’m just excited it’s out. See for yourself.

If you like 80s synth music, you will like Nation of Language.

Here’s a link to Pitchfork’s review.
