A Way Forward
by Nation of Language
On 'A Way Forward', Nation of Language expands its synth-pop and new wave foundations by incorporating krautrock influences and more intricate, layered arrangements. The album juxtaposes buoyant, danceable synth melodies with emotionally resonant and often melancholic lyrical themes, a contrast that heightens its bittersweet effect. With production duties split between Nick Millhiser and Abe Seiferth, the record achieves a dynamic yet cohesive sound, marking the band's final work with original bassist Michael Sue-Poi.
