A Way Forward drops in November
'80s pop supergroup that never were (but now are), Nation of Language are back! They're following up last year's excellent album Introduction, Presence with a second record titled A Way Forward. You can hear 'Wounds of Love' now.
They're starting off mellow with this lead single: it's a gentle, melancholy ballad presented on a platter of synths the band have become known for. How many great choruses do this band have in them!?
The band said in a statement: "'Wounds of Love' is a song about getting caught in a mental feedback loop when a relationship ends. It's an endless inner argument - wanting to move on defiantly, but feeling utterly lost about how to do it when the other person has informed so much about how you see yourself."

1. In Manhattan
2. Across That Fine Line
