4) Nation of Language - Inept Apollo

 
News from Brooklyn, NY-based post-punk trio... 

Richard Devaney (lead vocals, guitar) 

Aidan Noell (synthesizer) 

Alex MacKay (bass guitar) 

Devaney offers this on the “Inept Apollo” song: “Work is a respite from pain. Whether it's a paying job or just the thing you pour yourself into, having a direction to move in, finding a flow state, it can move focus away from the heaviness of the heart. So after life's losses, in moments of despair, we resolve time and time again to dive headfirst into the work as best we can. But the artistic process also tends to be when imposter syndrome rears its ugly head - when I find my inner monologue spiraling: ‘this is the best coping mechanism I have at my disposal and I'm not even qualified to be doing it.’
