Nation of Language Reveal 2025 Tour, Share Sub Pop Debut 'Inept Apollo': Stream
The post Nation of Language Reveal 2025 Tour, Share Sub Pop Debut 'Inept Apollo': Stream appeared first on Consequence. Brooklyn indie pop trio Nation of Language have announced their signing to Sub Pop and released their debut single on the label, 'Inept Apollo.' What's more, the band has revealed an extensive headlining tour for 2025, set to cover North America, the UK, and Europe from August to late November. 'Inept Apollo' pairs bubbling synths with lead singer Ian Richard Devaney's airy vocals, creating a contrast with the inner turmoil expressed in its lyrics. 'Embraced and left alone/ How many miles ago?' he ponders. 'Unbreak the spell/ I remember how it was before.' Stream it below. Get Nation of Language Tickets Here Devaney elaborated on the song's themes in a statement: '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.' The new song is accompanied by a music video directed by John MacKay, which Devaney described as feeling like 'walking through an old warehouse in Brooklyn, full of practice spaces and studios, each room occupied by artists striving to express and understand themselves and their place in the world.' Watch the clip below. The newly announced headlining tour expands on previously teased dates in cities like Brooklyn and London. The North American leg kicks off on August 21st in Hamden, Connecticut, with subsequent stops planned for Chicago, Vancouver, Austin, Atlanta, and many other cities before concluding in Washington, DC on October 30th. Following the North American dates, Nation of Language will take their tour to the UK and Europe, wrapping up in late November. Tickets for the tour go on sale to the general public this Friday, May 16th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster and Nation of Language's official website. An artist pre-sale is ongoing. Ahead of the tour, Nation of Language are set to make festival appearances at Cruel World and Kilby Block Party, followed by a string of opening dates on Death Cab for Cutie's Plans 20th anniversary tour.

Coach's Stuart Vevers puts Gen Z on the catwalk at New York fashion week
The models on the Coach catwalk could have walked straight off the New York street outside the venue. Men and women alike wore shrunken T-shirts and silver earrings, handbags jammed under one arm like a skateboard as they loped along, baggy jeans dragging over scuffed trainers. To make fashion that speaks to the moment, 'you have to talk to the younger generation,' said designer Stuart Vevers after the show. 'Actually, it's not about talking to them, it's about listening to them. What I hear most from them is about self-expression. People being who they want to be and using fashion to give them that confidence.' Vevers, who has worked with the American brand since 2013 and was awarded an OBE last year for services to fashion and to 'UK/US creative relations' layered generation Z's favourite silhouette with references from his own 90s youth such as David Lynch and Larry Clark's 1995 film Kids. He also booked the Brooklyn band Nation of Language – who will support LCD Soundsystem on an upcoming tour – to play live in the middle of the catwalk space to add to the vibe. A global luxury slowdown has hit most fashion week brands hard but Coach is bucking the trend. It was the fastest rising name on the most recent quarterly index released by Lyst, which ranks brand 'heat' based on sales and social media, using data from 200 million consumers. With demand up 332% year on year, Coach leapfrogged Alaia, Gucci and Bottega Veneta to become the fifth hottest brand after Miu Miu, Saint Laurent, Prada and Loewe. The brand's Brooklyn bag was named hottest product of the quarter in the rankings. Coach's success speaks to fashion's pricing problem. Many high-end luxury brands hiked prices in the years when demand was robust, a strategy dubbed 'greedflation', which is now backfiring. Consumers are now getting 'sticker shock' – the phenomenon of being stunned by where price tags have reached – and not buying. The relatively affordable £250 starting price of the Brooklyn has put it on the map as a hero piece of the rising trend for 'affordable luxury'. The Coach chief executive, Todd Kahn, told Vogue this week: 'Something maybe very American in us is [that] I don't feel good about having someone save up three months of salary to buy a handbag.' Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Many of the bags on the catwalk were clearly pre-worn: the leather curling at the edges, the brass turn-locks buffed with age. Coach has connected with younger consumers on sustainability, offering repairs, upcycling ideas or store credit to those looking to trade in or restore their existing Coach handbag. The Coachtopia sub-brand, launched in 2023, aims for circularity by using waste and recycled leather in designs that are mindful of end-of-life environmental impact. Coachtopia bags are designed on a 'monomaterial' principle, using a single material for the entire design where possible and with detachable handles and hardware to enable disassembly and reuse. Coach has a heritage in slow fashion. In the 1940s, co-founders Lillian and Miles Cahn took inspiration from the way a baseball glove improves and softens as it is used, developing a new tanning process that created supple leather less prone to cracking.
