i am a 50 year old public school teacher, lamenting my life choices but this band makes me happy.
...teachers should be thanked for their service
You’re a teacher who loves cool music, you sound amazing to me.
strange how one of the greatest bands from the 80s is born almost 40 years later....
Up there with OMD, New Order, Psych Furs
I have no words. "The wall and I" is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life
The sound engineering is godly here, heads up to people behind the scenes.
KEXP consistently has amazing sound in their studio!
A lot easier to get this sound without a loud acoustic drum kit in the room. I dig this very much. Well done
@@johnthebigtree digging the mpc that does so much work
Absolutely, hats off to the engineers, first class production!
Thats why we watch KEXP vids...recording studio quality...pumped right into your home. If youve got decent system..its as good as being there!
I'm 59, hearing this makes me feel like I'm 19 again, what a GREAT band. Thank you KEXP.
Im 61 and a loyal fan
I’m 55 and cannot believe how amazing they sound.
I'm 51.. from the beginning I thought about what reminds me of some sounds from the 80s, with simple details that achieve so much together.
Ha ha I am almost 59 and discovered this band recently on Spotify. Excellent live sound.
Just saw them on Saturday (10/30/21) night in Carrboro, NC. They sounded every bit as good live as they did here on EXP. I’m 53 and told Ian he took me right back to 1985.
Words dont do justice to how incredible this band are.
Just discovered this band today -- all I can say is WOW. Transporting this 62-year old rock 'n roller right back to the very best of new wave 80s. Wonderful music.
Of all the great bands I’ve discovered on KEXP, Nation of Language is my favorite.
I wish I was 17 again so I could put their posters on my wall and put at least one of their songs in every frickin' mix tape I ever made!
You can still do that!
@@Pixelslet I should! 😁
60, and I really like em.
This "joy division" bassline, this keyboards arrangements and this voice, just wow.
Just "discovered" this band a couple weeks ago and I can't get enough, they are amazing. I feel like I'm 15 again listening to my boom box in my bedroom...so much 80's synthpop goodness!
PERFECT SYNTH FUCKING 80 SOUND :I WANT MORE;SEE YOU IN HAMBURG
Reminds me of the first times I saw Depeche Mode and OMD in London 1980. Same raw synthy energy, beautiful melody and just great lyrics. Brilliant.
The 80's vibe is very pleasant ... great performance, kudos to the technicians as well!
Eu amo muito essa banda ! Foi essencial no meu ano de 2021 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark 2021!
There is a lot of good music out right now… but I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a release! Great performance!
Across that fine line - 0:32
Wounds of love - 6:23
This fractured mind - 10:10
The wall and I - 15:54
Cheers for the times, how good are this lot 👌
thanks for the names of the songs. you rock!
This is incredible. I love this band as much as I adore KEXP for their enduring celebration of music + creators of music.
If you ever have the chance, definitely see these guys live. As good as they sound on their albums, something about the energy of their live shows take their sound to the next level. Love you, bud.
YES! Saw them a couple weeks ago in Seattle... They were amazing! They even had the "too cool for school" Seattleites bouncing up and down!
Just saw them in Primavera in Barcelona, they are really outstanding live!
I listened to their albums afterwards on spotify, and I somehow don’t find the same energy and depth of the voice there
Yeah you don't expect synth pop to transfer so well to a live show, but at OFF the sound was fantastic and it's just the three of them..
I saw them this weekend in Nottingham, UK. I agree completely - they're brilliant live.
I can only imagine. Just watching through my phone I can feel the energy! Found them from one song and now I’m hooked. I was born in 88 and missed that entire genre but their music makes me long for a time I didn’t experience but for some reason miss.
When that bass hook kicks in in Wall & I .....
Finally! My favorite band on KEXP! Holy sh!t I waited so long for this :'(
The love children of Talk Talk, Blancmange, and It's Immaterial. I'm on board.
When I hear a new band like Nation of Language, I go to KEXP to see if they have performed in studio. Yep, there they are! My new favourite band!
Never heard of this band till today. What a GREAT performance and huge voice!
Last time round we called them Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.
Wow, they've turned 1981 to 2021 in one performance. 40 years after the originals this lot have made it ORIGINAL again. Cheers Milky for the tip :)
I had thought I was too old to discover something new that could make me rethink my long-standing favorite band status... This band has put all of my favorites on notice.
I’m gonna savor every second of this performance.
This is one of those bands that gets better every time I listen. Mike is a great bass player, and Ian and Aidan are the power couple of 2021. :-)
Post-Millenials please keep creating music like this.
Thank you for this beautiful music. Fantastic.
It's 1984 all over again. I'm OK with that.
Im ok with it too but I had stop for a while and take a deep breath
1980 I'd say ...
@@mapledreamer I think ure right....omd
New Order, OMD, Echo…..
@@kerrywinter3973 quite right
I am obsessed with Nation of Language and this upcoming album!!! GAH!
The way they played "Across that fine line" was just brilliant for a live performance and John is absolutely right when he says they just cannot hide the feelings
We need you in France ! Come please After your report
Drove to a Glassjaw show in Philly the other night. Listening to this band. I was walking across that fine line. Felt like September Again. Like back when I was with my buds On Divisions St.
The chorus on Across that fine line just hits! Gets a dance out of me every time!
This is one of the greatest sets I've seen in a while.
This is as close to recreating the 80's as it gets!!!
Living the 80's dream 🙂 Looking forward to NOL' sophomore effort after their fantastic debut album. Love from 🇮🇳 Thanks KEXP 👍
Beautiful! Reminds me of being 16 in the mid 80s and living in Evansville, IND, listening to the collage radio station WUEV to a program that was on about 9-12 that played everything from Eno and The Residents to this kind of thing, and being blown away by all these amazing and exotic sounds. Thanks for this! :D KEXP is the modern John Peel, and all those people on late night radio, who dared play this music. XoXo!
Sweet, that bassman is holding it DOWN, nice! This is some great work
I told Mike (bass player) that a few weeks ago when they played here in KC - he's the engine that keeps the train on the tracks
KEXP always brings it with the engineering. Greetings from Brooklyn. This band is as solid as they ever were in the 80s!
Still going strong. Bob Moog would be proud. She's ace isn't she? Thanks KEXP for another brilliant session! ❤
I love this band so much I have seen them play live 5 times in three months! I would follow them anywhere!😎
Saw them live tonight in Newcastle and I've honestly never heard someone as vocally gifted live as Ian is. What a privilege.
How are there dislikes here??
Great session. Glad to see artists back in the building we built.
Wow. Blown away!
The wall and I is maybe one of the best songs ever
Sounds so GOOD! Better than the studio recordings.
I grew up listening to New Wave in my parents' cars and this brought me back. I love this band. Can't wait to see them live.
Back to the eighties! Great band, catchy songs, brilliant sound!!
I absolutely love this
Amazing!
The 80s vibe is soo fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great stuff. Love it.
They were good in SF on Oct. 17. KEXP needs to have the band that opened, Public Practice, in here.
Public Practice are amazing!
