Nation of Language share new single "Too Much, Enough" alongside star-studded video

Simultaneously surreal and hyper present, "Too Much, Enough" arrives with a music video starring Emmy-nominated actor Jimmi Simpson (Westworld, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia), fellow musicians Reggie Watts, Kevin Morby, Tomberlin, Moldy Peaches’ Adam Green, and LVL UP’s Greg Rutkin, plus more than a dozen other close friends, and familiar faces. Directed by Robert Kolodny, the video satirises the outrageous TV broadcasts that inspired the song.

“"Too Much, Enough" is a song born out of an exhaustion with the 24 hour news cycle and the outrage bait it uses to get everyone permanently wound up. It seems the only way to find an edge in the media business is to appeal to our most base instincts of disgust (see: the high ratings of Fox News, etc.), and we end up suffering both individually and collectively for it," the band say.

"When it came to creating a visual to go alongside the song, we didn’t want the music video to be its own form of outrage bait so we went with a more absurdist approach, gathering some friends of ours, and of our incredible director Robert Kolodny, to make something fun and outlandish to that effect," they continue. "We also laced the video with as many NOL-related Easter eggs and iconography as possible to give anyone watching an opportunity to play along at home and be a part of that absurdity. It felt good to try to name a problem for ourselves without leaning on fear and rage."

Following previous singles "Sole Obsession", "Weak In Your Light" "Stumbling Still"; "Too Much, Enough" further embodies Strange Disciple’s overarching focus on unhealthy infatuations, obsessions and the bigger idea that feeling something is better than nothing, even if the source is damaging.

Strange Disciple follows on from 2021's A Way Forward, and their 2020 debut Introduction, Presence.
