小简介： Nada Surf，这支来自NY的三人乐队，给人的感觉就是甜蜜的回味，MATTHEW沉稳而不失磁性的嗓音总是让人爱不释手，吉他手，平稳的流线也透出丝丝睿智，鼓手，充满思想的鼓点，在这种氛围里最适合人来思考了，你几乎会忘记他们的存在，但决不应该忽略，也许当你回过神来已是满面泪水。一如他们的音乐，NADA SURF是支容易让人忽略的乐队，但并不防碍他们做出感人的音乐，就像是当初鼓手的离去不能分解乐队一样，人们暂时的忘却只能让他们更加勇敢。 旷野上，三个男孩对着微风歌唱，声音伴随着心跳。那是一种自恋般的陶醉，声音融化在空气中，带着丝丝回味的。 Once in danger of being relegated to "one-hit wonder" status, the power pop outfit Nada Surf soldiered onward after the success of 1996's "Popular," following up a brief residence on the Billboard charts with a slew of solidly crafted albums. Founders Matthew Caws (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Lorca (bass) were longtime school friends, having studied together at the Lycée Français de New York in upper Manhattan. After Lorca spent some time abroad in the late '80s, the two reunited after graduation to form Because Because Because in 1991. By 1993, they had jumped ship and shifted their focus to a new project, Nada Surf, whose first two indie releases won the band a contract in Spain. They then recorded an LP for the European label, only to have their original drummer quit. Ira Elliot (formerly of the Fuzztones) was brought aboard just as the group's European deal fell through, and the band's luck returned when their demo found its way to Ric Ocasek, who offered to produce additional sessions if Nada Surf wished to re-record the material. The trio soon signed to Elektra in 1995 and cut their debut LP, High/Low, with Ocasek behind the boards. "Popular" became a surprise radio hit the following summer, and Nada Surf found themselves lumped into the "nerd rock revival" camp alongside Superdrag, Cake, and Weezer. This newfound popularity allowed Nada Surf to release several tracks from their European demo as part of the Karmic EP, but it also proved to be a double-edged sword. When the band returned in 1998 with The Proximity Effect, Elektra balked, claiming the album didn't have a "Popular"-sized single. The album was released in Europe before Elektra permanently dropped the band and shelved the record; it would take Nada Surf a full two years to buy back the rights to their work. The Proximity Effect finally entered U.S. record stores in 2000, when Caws issued it on his own MarDev label, and Nada Surf traveled the country to promote its release. After pooling together the funds of their merchandise sales, the bandmates then entered the studio to independently record a third album, Let Go. Barsuk signed the group and released the album in 2002; three years later, The Weight Is a Gift (produced by fellow labelmate Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie) furthered the band's critical acclaim. Nada Surf then returned in 2008 with Lucky, which featured musical contributions from Ben Gibbard, Ed Harcourt, and members of both Calexico and Harvey Danger.
