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!
strange how one of the greatest bands from the 80s is born almost 40 years later....
Up there with OMD, New Order, Psych Furs
This is incredible. I love this band as much as I adore KEXP for their enduring celebration of music + creators of music.
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!
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.
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally! My favorite band on KEXP! Holy sh!t I waited so long for this :'(
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
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.
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!
Of all the great bands I’ve discovered on KEXP, Nation of Language is my favorite.
I have no words. "The wall and I" is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life
The love children of Talk Talk, Blancmange, and It's Immaterial. I'm on board.
PERFECT SYNTH FUCKING 80 SOUND :I WANT MORE;SEE YOU IN HAMBURG
Never heard of this band till today. What a GREAT performance and huge voice!
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!
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. :-)
Living the 80's dream 🙂 Looking forward to NOL' sophomore effort after their fantastic debut album. Love from 🇮🇳 Thanks KEXP 👍
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.
The guy sounds so English when he’s singing, The Cure meets The Smiths and makes a baby called Joy Division.
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!
Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark 2021!
I’m gonna savor every second of this performance.
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 :)
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!
The chorus on Across that fine line just hits! Gets a dance out of me every time!
When that bass hook kicks in in Wall & I .....
I am obsessed with Nation of Language and this upcoming album!!! GAH!
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.
You don’t realize it, but you have made a difference in the lives of many young people. There’s not a higher calling than teaching.
This "joy division" bassline, this keyboards arrangements and this voice, just wow.
They were good in SF on Oct. 17. KEXP needs to have the band that opened, Public Practice, in here.
Public Practice are amazing!
their bass player had something to say and he was ignored .
Thank you for this beautiful music. Fantastic.
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
Fantastic synth-pop.
Great new group, sounds like dreamy OMD, Kraftwerk, early Depeche Mode all had an indie baby.
Bang on!
Post-Millenials please keep creating music like this.
GREAT that the sessions are back and what a fantastic band to kick off with!
Last time round we called them Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.
I love this band so much I have seen them play live 5 times in three months! I would follow them anywhere!😎
Live from THINGS fest disappeared :( Is any chance to all lives from THINGS back?
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! 😁
Synth players are a lot cuter these days than I remember them in the 1980's
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.
Sounds so GOOD! Better than the studio recordings.
This sounds so good! I just saw Nation of Language play live in San Diego last week, and the sound was so amazing live also! Such a great band to see live if possible.
I was there👍🏻
Interesting bass rhythm on that first track.. that subtle fast chug.. Cool stuff
This is one of the greatest sets I've seen in a while.
this band sounds like something you'd hear in interdimensional cable
Best I've heard you guys sound on any live/in studio performance - amazing and so glad you're able to tour again, best of luck on world domination which is inevitable
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
KEXP always brings it with the engineering. Greetings from Brooklyn. This band is as solid as they ever were in the 80s!
Love this stuff! It's like if you took OMD vocals and mashed them up with Kraftwerk and Peter Hook's bass-lines.
And Depeche Mode?
@@trabant221 more NewOrder. 😁
Yeah definitely
great!!
Still going strong. Bob Moog would be proud. She's ace isn't she? Thanks KEXP for another brilliant session! ❤
How are there dislikes here??
Great session. Glad to see artists back in the building we built.
Most of the 80s soundalikes I dont like. I can't help but like this. Good job! Well done!
Back to the eighties! Great band, catchy songs, brilliant sound!!
What a lovely discovery. Thank you, KEXP Team.
Question - what IS it, that makes the KEXP sessions have such extraordinary sound?? And why is it lacking so many other places in our lives?? Is it like magic?? Or really expensive?? or what??
Definitely magic!
Reminds me when the British started this style in the beginning of the 8O's.
We need you in France ! Come please After your report
This lot are superb 👏 I'm not sure what track is best here every track is that good, all 80s uk synth bands will love them, and kraftwerk too
Everybody has already said everything I've heard and felt listening to this upload from John and KEXP featuring Nation of Language. It's like she said.. cathartic. Across That Fine Line. Amazing. Amazing. I've already pre-ordered the vinyl! 😁
Thank you, KEXP! Thank you Nation of Language! Best of luck and success to you! Hope to see you live someday. 💙
wish they would have played friend machine
You can definitely hear the Human League influence. I like it.
This is Sooooooo much Good! Thanks KEXP and Nation of Language! ♥
Am I the only one getting a little bit of a Talk Talk, mixed with Kraftwerk vibe? And she is playing a Moog. I really like their sound and will checking out more of their stuff.
OMD!
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.
This is as close to recreating the 80's as it gets!!!
I'm back in 1980.
Electricity and Speak and Spell feeling and much much more. Early New Order ? Whatever.
Thank you!
Great uplifting tunes! And.... the keyboard player is really beautiful. Killer smile. :)
Don’t worry about playing your instrument… just have a killer smile.😆
Best band to start off KEXP Live again with! Thank you both!! Amazing performance XO
I♥KEXP
Yeah, quite good sound! Possible a new long term favorite 🤙🏻
Absolutely love this band. Can't wait to hear the new album and see them in London in January 🎶❤️
Wow. Blown away!
I´m 53 and some of that 80s revival is too much for me, but these folks are great. Sadly I cant't go to their show in Berlin in january.
Been listening to this on repeat for over a month now! Hope to see them live soon. Thanks to KEXP for introducing yet another quality band. The sound engineering here to die for as always : )
60, and I really like em.
LMAO I had been saying album of the year after the first couple singles also. Saw them in Portland the other week, spectacular
Mark Hollis vibe
the 80's are back! hooray!! This guy sounds a lot like the singer in OMD. Cool band. I love KEXP
I hear more Alphaville, but definitely a wonderful mix of every great 80's synth band, including OMD.
i dont know what the deal was with their old basist , but there is a weird uncomfortable energy between them , idk
look at their old shows. it's like he wasn't being counted as part of this all
Saw them in Chapel Hill last night, great show. Look forward to seeing them again!
Saw them live tonight in Newcastle and I've honestly never heard someone as vocally gifted live as Ian is. What a privilege.
Really, really like these guys. Thank you, Oedipus.
Absolutely great band🙏
lovely voice!!!!!!!!
Nice, MOOG in use :)
Brilliant band,,,,, public service broadcasting ,,gig lastnight ,,,,,this great band came over the sound system,,,, great tunes ,all the best,,,
The 80s vibe is soo fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
YEEEEEEES
No sophomore slump here... A Way Forward is a stellar album!
This is Retro Art - Like it!!
It's Sunday night I'm in front of the TV watching Count Down, life's simple and I'm pretty happy.
Great music, if you come to Bristol uk please let me know
Are these guys the new New Order? Great sound
Oh god they will be really famous soon. Buy yours tickets for concerts when it is relatively cheep.
Seeing them here in the UK in January. Cannot wait
I like getting in on the ground floor...
