Product Description

 
Nada Surf: Matthew Caws (vocals, guitar); Daniel Lorca (vocals, bass); Catherine Talese (spoken vocals); Ira Elliot (drums). Additional personnel: Catharine Talese (spoken vocals). Recorded at Electric Lady, New York, New York on December 1-20, 1995. Personnel: Matthew Caws (guitar); Ira Elliot (drums). Recording information: Electric Lady Studios, New York, NY (12/01/1995-12/20/1995). Replete with angular chord progressions, feedback galore and ironic lyrics about the least appealing aspects of adolescence (high school, unrequited crushes), HIGH/LOW could be a lesson in the fundamentals of indie rock's nerd mentality. But Nada Surf make their songs memorable by adding an arena-rock lacquer to these dark "losercore" songs.

Bad pun alert: Nada bad album... quite good, in fact.

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: If it wasn't for their second album being better and the fact that I've given a lot of stuff five stars recently, this too would be given five stars.
Review: Geek rock... I'm sure you've all heard this term at one point or another. You see, there's a certain sound to music that intelligent people tend to flock to for whatever reason. My belief, of course, is because the songs actually show some form of...

You'll Wonder Why They're One-Hit Wonders!

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: A good addition to any cd collection.
Review: Simple rock tunes are rather underrated these days. There's something to be said for a pounding drum, a guitar with some distortion, and lyrics that are about every day life. Sure, it sounds boring, but if done properly, you can end up with some...

More Low Then High for Nada Surf

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: Nada Surf can, and have done better.
Review:     Nada Surf are a New York based band who received mainstream successes for their early 90s for their hit Popular in the summer of 1996.  The song was a social commentary on high school and the cliques and groups of adolescents.  Unfortunately for...
