Another New Music installment today. This one focuses on the brand new album from Nada Surf, which hits stores today via the Barsuk label. Also, a big thanks to our new intern Caitlin for helping so much with these new music features.

• The entire album can be streamed via the band’s Myspace, where you can also check out their latest video for “I Like What You Say”, a pretty damn cute video if you’re into kitschy stop-animation.
• The album was co-produced by the band and John Goodmanson (Death Cab for Cutie, Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney), and features guest vocals from Ben Gibbard, John Roderick of The Long Winters, and Phil Wandscher of Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter.

Here are some reviewers quotes about the new album.

• “Nada Surf is one of those bands you have to hear over and over to fully appreciate. Although some of the songs may not whack you over the head, go back and you’ll find something to appreciate, whether it’s beat changes or layers of vocals.” – Kent News Net
• “But the emphasis here isn’t on pop hooks anyway; what works so well about Lucky is the interplay between the band’s buoyant arrangements and lyrics that reflect a pronounced anxiety. - Slant Magazine
