Lucky, the title of Nada Surf fifth album, is at once literal and ironic. Like the songs that singer-guitarist Matthew Caws, bassist Daniel Lorca and drummer Ira Elliot crafted for their previous two albums, let go (2003) and the weight is a gift (2005), lucky is filled with images of restlessness, longing and the elusiveness of love. Yet the band counterbalances the lyrical bittersweetness with a musical buoyancy. Intimate songs become in-it-together anthems, thanks to the chiming guitars, propulsive rhythms, and the
emotional candor in Caws' vocals. A song like beautiful beat segues from a sparsely arranged, confessional first verse into a harmony-laden chorus and reaches multi-layered, canon-like proportions before the track fades out. If Caws is often suggesting that romance and resolution may still be an inch or two out of reach, he's also proffering immediate musical solace. Turn up the volume, hit the repeat button, and your troubles, for a blissful three minutes or so, will disappear.
It has been recorded throughout March and August 2007 at the Robert Lang Studios, in Seattle, underthe direction of producer John Goodmanson.
The band issued an official statement announcing this album on October 12, 2007. The song "See These Bones" premiered on the Anti-Hit List Podcast on October 20, 2007.[1] Due to a misquotation of Matthew Caws, it was first expected to be called
Time for Plan A.
Nada Surf第五张专辑的名称叫作Lucky,很实际也很讽刺.正如主唱-吉它手Matthew Caws,贝斯手Daniel Lorca和鼓手Ira Elliot为他们前两张专辑let go (2003)和the weight is a gift (2005)所精心创作的歌曲一样,lucky这张专辑充满了燥动不安的影像,对爱的渴望与逃避.乐队还将苦甜掺半的情感与空灵流溢的音乐作出了很好的平衡.由于加入了谐音吉它,轻快的节奏还有Caws嗓音中真挚的情感,使得这些靡靡小调成为了包容兼并的美妙歌曲.beautiful beat这类的歌曲从较少编排、直白的第一段渐渐转入和谐铺陈的副歌部分,最终达到层次丰富,如同对位段的音乐部分,之后歌曲逐渐淡出.在Caws频繁地告诉人们浪漫与坚定的信念总是只差一步就触手可及的同时,他也在用音乐安抚着人们.调高音量,按下repeat键,你的烦恼在幸福愉悦的3分钟之中,将会不复存在.
在2007年3月到8月,专辑在Seattle的Robert Lang录音室由制作人 John Goodmanson督导录制完成.
乐队发表了官方声明,宣布专辑将在2007年12月12日发行.歌曲"See These Bones"已于2007年10月20日在Anti-Hit List Podcast上首次放出.由于错误引用了Matthew Caws所说的话,这首歌最初被认为名为Time for Plan
