Nation of Language have officially announced their upcoming album. Dance Called Memory arrives September 19 via Sub Pop, marking their debut release on the label and their fourth studio full-length overall.

Along with the news, they’ve dropped the new shoegazey track “I’m Not Ready for the Change,” accompanied by a music video directed by John MacKay. Check it out below.

Speaking about the upcoming LP, frontman Ian Devaney explains:

“There is a dichotomy between the Kraftwerk school of thought and the Brian Eno school of thought, each of which I’ve been drawn to at different points. I’ve read about how Kraftwerk wanted to remove all of the humanity from their music, but Eno often spoke about wanting to make synthesized music that felt distinctly human. As much as Kraftwerk is a sonically foundational influence, with this record I leaned much more towards the Eno school of thought. In this era quickly being defined by the rise of AI supplanting human creators I’m focusing more on the human condition, and I need the underlying music to support that… Instead of hopelessness, I want to leave the listener with a feeling of us really seeing one another, that our individual struggles can actually unite us in empathy.”

Nation of Language are set to begin touring in July, including dates opening for Death Cab for Cutie, as well as an extensive run of headlining shows. See the full list of dates, tracklist, and album cover below.
