It\u2019s not quite accurate to say that they\u2019ve been making the same album over and over, but it\u2019s certainly fair to note their well-established style. While there\u2019s always a question of how much distortion there will be, you can count on finely wrought melodies, light-as-air harmonies, and more jangling guitars per square inch than the Gin Blossoms\u2019 tour bus.<\/p>\n<p>On <i>You Know Who You Are<\/i> (Barsuk Records), now full-time member Doug Gillard (most famously of Guided By Voices previously) brings extra crunch to hard-driving tracks like \u201cNew Bird\u201d and \u201cYou Know Who You Are.\u201d Dan Wilson (not only of Semisonic, but also a two-time Grammy winner for his work with Adele and the Dixie Chicks) co-wrote two songs on this album, which means there are two times when Nada Surf sounds like Semisonic, and those songs (\u201cRushing\u201d and \u201cVictory\u2019s Yours\u201d) aren\u2019t too difficult to pick out. \u201cRushing\u201d is particularly good, a song about young lovers (or maybe not) that carries the weight which comes with age.<\/p>\n<p>Other than those small upgrades, though, it\u2019s business as usual. A couple of these songs (\u201cAnimal,\u201d \u201cFriend Hospital\u201d) are a little too sleepy to be memorable, but Matthew Caws\u2019 voice remains a constant pleasure. There\u2019s no single track as exciting as the best bits of albums like <i>Lucky<\/i> or <i>Let Go<\/i>, but more often than not Nada Surf\u2019s whimsy and energetic attention to detail carry the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good ol\u2019 reliable Nada Surf.
