About this album
Lucky, the title of Nada SurfÆs fifth album, is at once literal and ironic. Like the songs that
singer-guitarist Matthew Caws, bassist Daniel Lorca and drummer Ira Elliot crafted for their previous
two albums, let go (2003) and the weight is a gift (2005), lucky is filled with images of
restlessness, longing and the elusiveness of love.
Yet the band counterbalances the lyrical bittersweetness with a musical buoyancy. Intimate
songs become in-it-together anthems, thanks to the chiming guitars, propulsive rhythms, and the
emotional candor in Caws’ vocals. A song like beautiful beat segues from a sparsely arranged,
confessional first verse into a harmony-laden chorus and reaches multi-layered, canon-like
proportions before the track fades out. If Caws is often suggesting that romance and resolution may
still be an inch or two out of reach, he’s also proffering immediate musical solace. Turn up the
volume, hit the repeat button, and your troubles, for a blissful three minutes or so, will disappear.
It has been recorded throughout March and August 2007 at the Robert Lang Studios, in Seattle, under
the direction of producer John Goodmanson.
The band issued an official statement announcing this album on October 12, 2007. The song «See These Bones» premiered on the Anti-Hit List Podcast on October 20, 2007.Due to a misquotation of
Matthew Caws, it was first expected to be called Time for Plan A.

How does this have more listens than Let Go? Good album, but really no comparison.

One of the most underrated albums out there. An amazing record: the first 3 songs form one of the best 1-2-3 punches to start an album I've ever heard. See These Bones with its gorgeous counter-melodies at the end might be my favorite Nada Surf song.

I already was a big fan of Nada surf, especially "Let Go" ... but this is something else ! This is my first listen but I already know it's gonna be one of my favourite album! Btw : "solid" means consistently good and I'd say it's a bit of an understatement for this album.
