The three members of Nada Surf have played together for a dozen years now. They’ve survived overnight major-label success and the inevitable morning-after bleariness, persevering past obstacles that would have sunk a less resilient combo to become one of America’s most truly independent bands. And they’ve slapped out terrific singles such as Popular, The Way You Wear Your Head or Blonde on Blonde… Experience has only made their work richer, bringing gravity to the subject matter and lightness to its presentation. Keeping things honest – and often rapturous – has become a modus operandi. With Lucky – their fifth album in tow, featuring Whose Authority and the sublime See These Bones – Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca and Ira Elliot return to Luxembourg!
