NYC synth-pop darlings Nation Of Language are back with two 7″ singles, their first new music since last year’s excellent A Way Forward. The first is a cover of The Replacement’s “Androgynous” b/w “Again And Again (Eleanor)” and the second is “From The Hill” b/w “Ground Control”. I produced & mixed both “Again And Again” and “Ground Control” at Studio Windows, and both are exclusive to the physical releases. I love these songs – “Again And Again (Eleanor)” is bouncy and sparse, while “Ground Control” is a beautiful ballad that shows a different side of the group – and I’m thrilled to have them out in the world. Order either/both singles directly from Nation Of Language, and stream “From The Hill” below.

Machinegum – the NYC neo-new-wave quintet led by Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes – has released their debut album Conduit.   The album was produced by Fab and my studio partner Jake Aron, recorded at Outlier Inn and Figure 8, mixed by Jake, myself and Andrew Maury, and mastered by Heba Kadry.  There’s quite a range here, from softer crooners to abstract synth-rock and everything in between, and features contributions by Delicate Steve and Ian Devaney of Nation of Language.  Stereogum published this thoughtful review of the album to alert the world of its release; Conduit is on all streaming services now via Frenchkiss Records.
