Synth-driven trio Nation of Language yesterday unveiled a new video, for ‘This Fractured Mind’, from upcoming album A Way Forward, due on November 5th, and announced an upcoming EU and UK tour in early 2022.
Speaking of the track, vocalist and songwriter Ian Devaney (the trio is completed by keyboardist Aidan Noell and bassist Michael Sue-Poi) says, “After I dropped out of college I spent a number of years delivering pizzas and waiting tables while I lived at home and tried to get a music career going. One ends up spending a lot of time contending with unrealised dreams and feeling jealousy towards those who have moved on. There’s an inferiority complex that can set in, which if unchecked, can lead down a pretty bitter and self-destructive road. This is a song for driving down that road, as indecision and longing and regret cycle together into mania, until finally, at the end, quiet acceptance and peace wash over”.
