Nada Surf - Moon Mirror: Reflection (CDNW5698X) 2 CD Set
Bittersweet anthems that begin quiet but explode into soaring harmonies? Check.
Songs that are play-on-repeat heart punches? Check. Songs that are poetic and
thought-provoking while also being absolute belt-at-the-top-of- your- voice-withthe-windows-down masterpieces? Check. It's all here.
For the past 30 years, Nada Surf has had the same core lineup: Matthew Caws,
Daniel Lorca, and Ira Elliot. Moon Mirror, their frst for New West Records, was
produced by the band and Ian Laughton at Rockfeld Studios in Wales. For the
recording, Matthew, Daniel, and Ira were joined by their friend and longtime
keyboard player Louie Lino. Moon Mirror is a thrilling and moving leap forward for Nada Surf. The songs on the album are true to the human experience-- as
meaningful and mysterious and sometimes absurd as it is. There's love, yes, but
also grief, deep loneliness, doubt, wonder, and hope.
These are not the songs of a band in their 20s. There is hard-won wisdom here,
and hard- won belief in possibility-- the kind that comes from falling down and
getting back up.
This deluxe edition CD is a 2-disc release featuring Moon Mirror and 10 Moon
Mirror demos performed by Matthew Caws
