Nada Surf

10.07.2003

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

Renowned for their devastating power pop, New Yorkers Nada Surf have toned down their act. Almost nine years after their punchy single "Popular", the American francophile combo have discovered doubt and melancholy. As a result, Nada Surf have mellowed, exchanging their legendary noisy vigour for a more sophisticated and melodious sound. Let Go, the latest album, is a perfect illustration of this natural conversion. An obvious tribute to New Order, furious guitar over a vocal crescendo and pleasant ballades that seem to have come ou of Dylan's repertoire. A breath of fresh air. (FFJM © 2003)
