Nation of Language have readied a new album called Strange Disciple. The Brooklyn band’s third LP arrives in full on September 15th, and as a preview, they’ve shared the song “Weak in Your Light.”
Produced by Nick Millhiser (Holy Ghost!, LCD Soundystem), Strange Disciple was recorded while Nation of Language were between tours, inspiring the band to make music that would best translate to a live setting. As such, the record features more live drums and guitar than ever before. Pre-orders are ongoing.
“Weak in Your Light” follows the lead of previous single “Sole Obsession” in portraying Nation of Language singer Ian Devaney’s experience with all-consuming love. The track begins with ominous, bubbling synths before building to a shimmering chorus where the artist accepts his fate. “Sometimes when I feel the most is when I feel hopelessly devoted to something or someone,” he explained in a statement. Listen to the song below.
Nation of Language will hit the road later this year on a lengthy tour that includes headlining shows in North America and Europe, as well as appearances at festivals like Primavera Sound.
