Nation Of Language – “Weak In Your Light”

Just two years after sharing their acclaimed sophomore album A Way Forward, New York’s Nation Of Language are announcing a new project, Strange Disciple, coming in September. Recorded in East Williamsburg with producer Nick Millhiser, Strange Disciple features last month’s “Sole Obsession” and today’s lead single, the echoing, quietly nervy “Weak In Your Light.”

According to a press release, both songs “embody Strange Disciple‘s overarching theme of hopeless devotion, and the feelings of agony, ecstasy and revelatory anguish that come with any form of unhealthy dedication.” “Sometimes when I feel the most is when I feel hopelessly devoted to something or someone,” the band’s Ian Devaney explains.

Listen to “Weak In Your Light” below.
