Andrew Bird, Dawn Landes, Nada Surf, DeVotchKa and More Come Together to Remake Harry Nilsson Soundtrack
Dawn Landes, Andrew Bird, Nada Surf and DeVotchKa are among the eight artists to contribute to Songs From The Point!, a new compilation reinventing the music from Harry Nilsson's cult-classic cartoon musical. After its 1971 debut as a made-for-TV movie on ABC, The Point! amassed an adoring following for the sweet soundtrack composed by Nilsson, a songwriter who had previously released a handful of his own albums and written songs for the likes of The Monkees and Three Dog Night. ... read more

Found in: Featured VideosNada Surf teams up with MySpace for Transmissions
Someday, an incisive cultural critic will write an epic book about the extraordinary transformation of music production, distribution and promotion over the last few years. Actually, that “epic book” will likely be a blog post, and that “incisive cultural critic” will likely be a 16-year-old kid. But regardless of who documents the changes, they are definitely taking place. In the most recent iteration, Nada Surf (whom Paste profiled earlier this year) has teamed up with MySpace on the social networking site’s Transmissions project. The band recorded seven songs live, and the videos are available on the Transmissions site, as well... read more

Found in: Music, ReviewsNada Surf travels North America, preps Lucky
The buoyant popsters of Nada Surf have scheduled North American tour dates to follow the imminent Feb. 5 release of their latest and most fortunate LP, Lucky. After sold-out stops on the West Coast and in New York, followed by a short stint in Europe over the next couple months, the band will return to play SXSW and tour our own fair continent at length. Lucky, Nada Surf's fifth release, will street via Barsuk Records, and is the follow-up to the band's acclaimed 2005 album The Weight Is A Gift. You can sample new songs and get a free download... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNada Surf gets Lucky on new album, tour
Forget that "Popular" song right now. Seriously, it wasn't even that amazing a tune to begin with, let alone worthy to stand as a signifier of an entire band's career. Nada Surf is past it. Growing beyond those somewhat bratty beginnings, the group has authored a series of increasingly sophisticated and irresistible pop albums on Barsuk Records. We're rather partial to 2005's The Weight Is a Gift, ourselves. This coming February, Nada Surf takes the next step. Barsuk will issue the band's fifth proper album, Lucky, on Feb. 5. It's awhile to wait, but the group has already started streaming... read more
