Brooklyn-based indie rock band Language have shared Game Piece, the lead single off of their forthcoming EP, ‘Plymouth ‘. About the song, Language’s Charles Sloan (bass, vox) said, “I started with of a couple ideas: a middle school project where I had to decide what I would take with me on a spaceship to a new world, and the story of Aeneas, one of the mythical founders of Rome, who took his father, statues of his gods, and his son and lead them out of a burning Troy. It’s all reduced to a few shouted phrases, which is where the desperation and irrationality enter.” Take a listen to the track via Soundcloud below.
When Omar Afzaal (guitar, vox) woke up the morning of his wedding, he already knew it would be the biggest day of his life up until that point. What he didn’t know is that he would meet Charles Sloan (bass, vox) that same day. The two would go on to play music together in 2013, resulting in some demos. It was when Afzaal and Sloan turned to Craigslist to find a drummer, eventually linking up with Wes Black, that the brotherhood of Language was born.
Following two self-released EPs, the band now announces their signing to Brooklyn-based label Good Eye Records and their forthcoming ‘Plymouth’ EP. Plymouth is out May 18th and is the sixth release from Good Eye Records.

Language has been something of a best-kept secret in the live music landscape in NYC. Their experimental while unflinching stylings are the product of three individual talents committed to their artistry, enjoying the hell out of playing with each other the whole way.
Their status earned them a support for Shame in late 2017, with Plymouth set to bring them to the attention of the music-enjoying populace at large.
They’ve unveiled Game Piece to coincide with the announcement of Plymouth’s record release show at Baby’s All Right on May 18th w/ Grooms, Russian Baths and Mezzanine Swimmers.
