Nada Surf have signed to New West Records and will release their highly anticipated new LP, Moon Mirror on September 13th.
The thrilling and moving album is true to the human experience, as meaningful and mysterious and sometimes absurd as it is. The 11-song set was produced by the band with Ian Laughton (Supergrass, Ash) and sees them dive into themes of love, grief, deep loneliness, doubt, wonder, and hope.
The band have released the heartfelt track ‘In Front of Me Now,’ a warning against sleepwalking through the one life we have.
Frontman Matthew Caws comments, “Every time we make an album, I’m asked (and ask myself) what it’s about. I never know how to answer that question. I’m still trying to figure everything out, and that’s probably as close to a theme as there is. Looking back over the years, I know what our songs are about in theory: trying to reach acceptance (of circumstances, of oneself, of others), connection, a constant search for possibility and the bright side, a willingness to change, forgiveness, curiosity, checking in with one’s mortality, motivations and judgements, etc. But in the moment when making one up, I have no idea what I’m doing and maybe that’s ok. I’m just trying to stay honest with myself and take my best guess at making sense of the world.”
on their new label home, he says “We’ve been lucky to be on some really wonderful record labels over the years, and so far New West sure feels like another one of those. We couldn’t be more fortunate.”
Long hailed as a must-see live act, Nada Surf has announced the first legs of their 2024 Moon Mirror world tour, featuring an appearance at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas, where they will perform their 2002 fan favourite Let Go in its entirety.
