The Alpine: Nation of Language, Peel Dream Magazine

NYC-based Nation of Language has attracted a growing international audience for their danceable and impassioned take on new wave, post-punk, and shoegaze. Following the critical acclaim of their first LP introduction in 2020, their 2021 follow-up A Way Forward pushed them to a wider audience—landing them their late-night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and a string of sold-out tours. Their 2023 record Strange Disciple continued this momentum, landing them on Rough Trade’s coveted #1 album of the year spot. Now a mainstay atop lists of the best live acts of recent years, the band continues to charge synth-first into their latest chapter as a major festival draw at recent iterations of Austin City Limits Festival, Desert Daze, Pitchfork Festival, Primavera Sound, Corona Capital, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, and many others.
