NADA SURF SET TO RELEASE NEW RECORD IN FEBRUARY 2008
FREE MP3 TRACK AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD NOW
Beloved New York-based band Nada Surf will be releasing their new record, "LUCKY," on February 5th, 2008 on Barsuk Records, and will be offering fans the opportunity to hear the track "See These Bones" at www.myspace.com/nadasurf starting today.
"LUCKY" is Nada Surf's fifth record and third for Seattle indie Barsuk Records, following the successful and critically lauded "Let Go" (2003) and "The Weight is a Gift" (2005). The band lineup for almost 12 years has been and still is Matthew Caws (vocals, guitar), Daniel Lorca (bass) and Ira Elliot (drums). The record is filled with songs of restlessness, longing and the elusiveness of love. Yet, in its inimitable way, the band beautifully counterbalances its signature lyrical wistfulness with its singular musical buoyancy. Intimate tunes become we're-all-in-this-together anthems, thanks to the chiming guitars, propulsive beat, and the ever-present yearning in Caws' voice.
"I tend to be pretty hopeful about things further in the future, but full of anxiety about the next eight hours," jokes Caws. "Unlike my friend John Flansburgh from They Might Be Giants, who says he's manic depressive without the depression, I think I'm manic depressive without the mania. Yet I'm ready to be cheerful at the drop of a reason. I'm always looking for rapture in music."
"LUCKY" was co-produced by the band and John Goodmanson (Death Cab For Cutie, Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney). It was recorded in Seattle at Robert Lang Studios where artists like Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Dave Matthews, among many others have worked in the past.
Many great artists make guest appearances on the record, including:
Death Cab's Ben Gibbard, Ed Harcourt, John Roderick of the Long Winters, and guitarist Phil Wandscher of Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter. To help announce the coming of the new record, Nada Surf is about to embark on a national headlining tour. The dates begin October 13 in Philadelphia and end November 2 in Baltimore. Sea Wolf will be supporting.
Critical acclaim has followed Nada Surf through their career. Most recently, "MOJO" called "The Weight is a Gift" a "21st century pop masterpiece," while "Esquire" said their "poignant anthems" are "full of airtight melodies and huge twists." "Rolling Stone," weighed in, saying:
"The band's tunes achieve a kind of sleight-of-hand majesty," while "Alternative Press" exclaimed the record is "nearly flawless."
"Entertainment Weekly" called it "astoundingly good," and "USA Today"
said Caws' lyrics "have both mystery and a universal touch."
