Nick & June will release their new album New Year’s Face on December 5th. The Berlin duo’s forthcoming album was Produced byPeter Katis (The National, Interpol, Sharon Van Etten,) and recorded in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The LP includes collaborations with Owen Pallett, The National’s Kyle Resnick and Ben Lanz, The Antlers and others, will be released on CD, vinyl and digitally. Along with the albums announcement Nick & June have new single ‘Husband & Wife’.

The album’s title track begins in a hazy, almost offhand way, the voices of Suzie-Lou and Nick wrapping around each other like figures slowly beginning to recognise one another. Tracks ‘Dark Dark Bright’ and ‘Anthem’ feature majestic brass arrangements orchestrated by The National’s Kyle Resnick and Ben Lanz. ‘Crying In A Cool Way’ emerges from distorted bass and shimmering synths, a triumph for the emotionally-distant and the romantically-derailed. New York’s The Antlers, long an inspiration for Nick & June, appear on ‘2017’ and ‘Pinker Moon’, both meditations on childhood, coming-of-age moments and the fleeting beauty of transience. On ‘The Boy With The Jealous Eyes’, Spanish lo-fi songwriter Russian Red steps in alongside keyboard virtuoso and Sufjan Stevens’ collaborator Thomas Bartlett. The grand finale ‘Husband & Wife’—more requiem than song—closes the album with an orchestral farewell.
