If you're a regular CC reader then you know my devotion to the band Nada Surf. Well, the NYC-based indie pop rock quartet -- Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca, Ira Elliot, and longtime friend and collaborator, Louie Lino -- have done it again. Another gem. Somehow they've managed to meld The Cars (synth hook) with The Byrds (harmonies) and still keep it all sounding fresh. It's rockin' and relentless -- guitars, bass, drums, and that damn snakey-synth hook that keeps weaving in and out. Even a clever "rap" break rant about the perils of social media work. And a way simple, but clever lyric video, too, animated and edited by Jonny Sanders. "Something I Should Do" is the first track from the new/ninth Nada Surf album Never Not Together available February 7, 2020. And their 6-month world tour starts on January 14th in Seattle.
