Nation Of Language have returned with a brand new single – listen to ‘From The Hill’ below.The track will appear on a new 7″ single set to come out on December 9 alongside vinyl exclusive B-side ‘Ground Control’.

The release follows the band’s second album, 2021’s ‘A Way Forward’.On their new track, singer Ian Devaney said: “‘From the Hill’ is a song reflecting on times when friendships fall apart over romantic entanglement, accompanied by the sensation that you’re somehow watching it happen from above with a more zoomed-out perspective.“It can feel at times like certain parts of life are a story with which you’re just following along – the characters enter, they play their role, and then they leave.

Often it’ll feel sudden and catch you off guard, and other times you’re able to see that it’s the only way things could have played out despite what you may have wanted.”Devaney added: “For us, we’re in a moment right now where it feels good to get this out into the world.

It’s one that didn’t really feel like it fit the vibe of A Way Forward, nor is it any real indication of where the next record is likely heading.
