On the show this time, it’s the transportive electro-pop of Brooklyn band Nation of Language.

Nation of Language is a trio from New York, Ian Devaney on synths and with “the voice”, Aidan Noell on synths and vocals, and Alex MacKay on bass.  The music recalls the great pop bands of the 80’s, but their captivating songwriting and sonic originality clearly push them forward as one of the great pop bands of right now. Their latest release is Dance Called Memory available on Sub Pop Records.
