Recently playing to a sold-out crowd of 1500 people at London’s KOKO, Nation Of Language have now teamed up with notable UK electronic artist Daniel Avery, for a remix of ‘Weak In Your Light’. They also announce a headline show at London’s HEAVEN, with tickets on-sale below.
Already remixing tracks from fellow Brits bdrmm, Mandy Indiana, Gold Panda, and Jon Hopkins, Avery took his services stateside for a version of the previous single. Led by Ian Devaney’s tender, towering professions of all-consuming adoration, ‘Weak In Your Light’ embody Strange Disciple’s overarching theme of hopeless devotion, and the feelings of agony, ecstasy and revelatory anguish that come with any form of unhealthy dedication.
Nation Of Language’s new album Strange Disciple, is out 15th September via [PIAS]. Named one of the most anticipated albums of summer by Pitchfork, the ten-song collection is connected through themes of hopeless devotion, infatuation and overwhelming obsession, presented as the ideal soundtrack for long walks through city streets.
Whereas lead singer and songwriter Ian Devaney imagines the band's 2020 debut, Introduction, Presence, as taking place in a car – and second album A Way Forward occurring on and as a locomotive – Strange Disciple is, at last, ambulatory and wayfaring, informed by the excitement of exploring new places the Brooklyn trio never thought they would see or play during their remarkable pandemic-era breakout.
Daniel Avery released his fifth album Ultra Truth at the end of 2022 and was met with critical acclaim. The record inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in Avery’s Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah. Each adds their own unique emotional glow to the record through poetry, pensive thoughts and soaring melodies.
