    I was just "introduced" to this band five days ago and have been listening non-stop since. I'm 49 and when I listen to them I feel 15 again listening to my new wave cassettes! Best band I've listened to in a very long time. Simply Amazing!

      @robbieprokop1745 2 роки тому +2

      @garymitchell the above references to more contemporary sounds (ie. The Dears..) pull - I appreciate folks listening to artists and trying to discern influences. With my musical leanings formed in the 80's , really loved your references. Since any association we make with music is deeply personalized, I'll respectfully pass on your OMD, and even Depeche Mode (no vocal or instrumentation evocations for me). Your China Crisis comparison, though, sticks in my mind. Blancmange a bit too. For me - I hear an earlier Midge Ure and Ultravox synth groove. My best friend shared this with me and these guys are OUTstanding.

    Recently I discovered Nation of Language, and for the first few months I didn't pay too much mind to it just thinking it was a modern dream pop/ alternative band. Honestly I thought they were one of those big bands like Snow Patrol, and Coldplay. Then I discovered that it is not a big popular band... in fact they have less than 20k subscribers.
    Take this as a compliment, I genuinely thought you were a name majority of people would say "Oh, I know one of their songs". I can't wait to see you soar. A while back I found a band just likes this; small niche band, great music, but not a common name... it was Beach House, who have blown up due to Wednesday and TikTok.
    I hope I get to see Nation of Language have a similar thing happen. With the quality of music being made, its inevitable
