Brooklyn post punk/new wave/synth-pop outfit Nation Of Language have premiered their excellent new single “Stumbling Still“.

It’s the second third taste of their forthcoming album ‘Strange Disciple‘, set to arrive on September 15 via [PIAS]. Pre-order it here.

Strange Disciple is, at last, ambulatory and wayfaring, informed by the excitement of exploring new places the Brooklyn trio never thought they would see or play during their remarkable pandemic-era breakout.

Clamouring with a propulsive kraut-punk groove and bouncing bassline, ‘Stumbling Still’ encapsulates that form of forward motion, with lyrics that deliver an equally restless but far less healthy series of incessant thoughts and internal strife. 

Take a listen below.
