Nation Of Language have shared a new song, The Conversation.
An unused song from the sessions for their 2025 record 'Dance Called Memory', the atmospheric synth-pop track serves as the b-side to the Brooklyn-based band's April cover of Bruce Springsteen's Tougher Than The Rest, which was released as a 7" vinyl in May. Frontman Richard Devaney said:
“‘The Conversation’ is a song that’s been haunting me for a few years now – one of my personal favorites I’ve written, yet it’s never found a home on an album. It’s extremely contained in the sense that when I write out the lyrics it reads more like a standalone poem than most of our songs, and it dabbles in storytelling in a much different way than I’m used to doing.
"It’s a vignette, centred around two people whose lives are so intertwined, and have been moving towards this one conversation, this inflection point, where the things that need to be said might finally be said."
Refreshed after a run of European festival dates and headline shows, Nation of Language will embark on a North American tour this week, followed by a European and UK run next month, including three dates at London's Village Underground, and further North American dates in the fall.
