NY metropolitan area pop group Nova Social has been active in New York’s indie underground for over ten years. Helmed by singer/multi-instrumentalist David Nagler and guitarist/programmer Thom Soriano, the group solidifies the electronic and dance music-influenced sound of their 2009 self-titled EP on their new full-length, For Any Inconvenience, and takes it to another level courtesy of the duo’s ambitious and compelling pop songwriting.

For Any Inconvenience was produced by Nova Social. Strings and vocals were recorded in Brooklyn by Godfrey Diamond, who the band tracked down because of his classic disco-era productions (Bionic Boogie, Andrea True Connection’s “More, More, More”), and the album was mixed by long-time collaborator D. James Goodwin (Santigold, Devo, Norah Jones) at The Isokon in Woodstock, NY.

Singer David Nagler plays guitar and piano in John Wesley Harding & The English UK, where his involvement in the “Cabinet of Wonders” variety shows have led to him sharing the stage with Rosanne Cash, Andrew Bird, Ted Leo, A.C. Newman (of The New Pornographers), Andrew VanWyngarden (of MGMT), and more. He served as musical director and co-producer on Chris Mills’ acclaimed orchestral pop release The Wall to Wall Sessions (Ernest Jenning Record Co.), which led to his inclusion in The L Magazine’s “Ultimate Brooklyn Supergroup,” and he provided choral arrangements for the Mekons’ Jon Langford’s Skull Orchard Revisited (Verse Chorus Press/Bloodshot Records), with members of the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus.
