Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Nada Surf Announces New Album “Moon Mirror”, Shares New Song “In Front of Me Now”
American alt-rock band Nada Surf, consisting of Matthew Caws (vocals/guitar), Daniel Lorca (bass), Ira Elliot (drums) and Louie Lino (keyboards), has announced their tenth studio album “Moon Mirror” will be released on September 13, 2024
It is their first album in four years since the 2020 album “Never Not Together”.
Also, the album is the first release under their new label New West Records.
The band recorded the 11-track album with co-producer Ian Laughton at Rockfield Studios in Wales.
The band lead singer Matthew Caws said of the album, “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.”- From the album, the band unveiled the first single called “In Front of Me Now” on May 14, 2024.
The track was written by Daniel Lorca, Ira Elliot, Louie Lino, and Matthew Caws. Produced by Ian Laughton and Nada Surf.
The accompanying music video was directed by Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard.
Matthew Caws said of the song, “We know the pandemic is over, but we made a Covid-era video to save on gas. Made on location (i.e. where we live) in Cambridge, England, Sarasota, Florida, Ibiza, Spain, and Austin, Texas, we bring you ‘In Front of Me Now,’ my diary of not being a great multi-tasker and wanting to be present for everything from now on if possible.” -
