Okay, I love NY's Nada Surf. Maybe the band's last album didn't quite have the bitter, sarcastic attitude that made "Popular" such a(n)(un)sweet single off High/Low, but The Weight Is A Gift (2005) was a remarkably solid album from a band that's been around so long, through its height of "Popular"-driven popularity to its semi-obscurity as it continued to produce several amazing yet underlooked albums. Lucky will be released in February on Barsuk, but you can download "See These Bones" now. It's a strong track with sweeping melody, really picking up towards its killer ending, and it really bodes well for the new album!
