New Music: Under The Water

           

Nation of Language is sharing the pulsating and gorgeous single "Under the Water," a new offering from Dance Called Memory, their forthcoming Sub Pop debut. About the single., Ian Devaney said: This was the last one to make the cut before we turned the record in. "We'd always had a lot of enthusiasm for the track, but the studio schedule had gotten a bit unwieldy over the holidays and an arbitrary deadline had been set…As such we'd turned in the final album mixes for mastering before getting on the plane and I'd resigned myself to saving Under the Water for some subsequent release down the line." But while trying to sequence the album clarity set in that despite our love for rigid adherence to the production calendar, we wanted it on there. So before soundchecks on the other side of the planet we hooked up all the synths we'd brought with us in the greenroom, remotely concocting the version you hear now.
