“They’ve delivered a true modern-day classic of the synth-pop genre.” – NME*****
“A Way Forward is Nation of Language at their best and boldest.” – Gigwise 8/10
The synth-pop band combine mannered singing, retro-styling and high seriousness to highly impressive effect” – Financial Times ****
“There are nods to the early 8Os. Like Depeche Mode” – BBC 6 Music, Steve Lamacq
“Shades of OMD and Depeche Mode in the Brooklynites’ wonderfully solemn piece of retro electro-pop”. – The Times
“It offers a subtle reminder that these art-school Brooklynites might have equally fond memories of 2000s indie-dance artists like Cut Copy, Bloc Party, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as their ’80s luminaries.” – Pitchfork
‘Across That Fine Line’ brings a whole new level of confidence to their 80s-Inspired sound.” – Consequence
“Let’s just call it. It’s the Album of the Year.” – KEXP
From Brooklyn, Nation Of Language have made a name for themselves creating music from another lifetime. From signing to PIAS mid-campaign, selling out a UK tour months in advance, to the release of their album A Way Forward which came out last year to critical acclaim from NE (5 Stars), Financial Times (4 Stars), Gigwise, Pitchfork, Mojo, Stereogum, SPIN, and more.
