The Weight is a Gift

"A moody rock lullaby and further proof most bands hit their stride long after MTV stops paying attention."
- GQ

Nada Surf has been a band for 10 years - longer than most of their living peers have been out of a car seat. If you know your stuff, you know the story. If not, you may remember their MTV hit "Popular" back in the '90s...

Their new album 'The Weight Is A Gift' is purely majestic pop rock and answers questions of lust and deception, greed and love, joy and regret. Produced primarily by Death Cab For Cutie rock wizard Chris Walla, this album chips away the grit and pretence clogging up the modern scene, leaving only goosebump-inducing pop in it's purest form.

A pitch-perfect slice of indie pop, 'The Weight Is A Gift' reveals a deeper maturity in Nada Surf's songwriting.

'The Weight Is A Gift' is like the best bedtime story: it riles you up, spooks you a bit, makes you think, then eases your mind. And when you go to sleep, you may appreciate a little something you didn't when you woke up that day...

"Enough smarts and panache to leave most of their Nineties-rock peers eating hot dust."
- Rolling Stone
