Nation of Language returns with their fourth studio album, Dance Called Memory, a spectral and spacious journey through synthpop, minimal wave, post-punk, and new romantic influences. Frontman Ian Richard Devaney expands the emotional and sonic boundaries of synthesizer-driven music, crafting an album that transforms personal grief into collective resonance. Inspired by the tragic loss of his godfather to ALS and reflections on fractured friendships, Devaney channels profound melancholy into radiant, wistful soundscapes. The lead single, "Now That You're Gone," exemplifies this alchemy—reverberating with emotional depth and haunting beauty.
