Nada Surf – Never Not Together (2020)

With their ninth studio album, Nada Surf - Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca, Ira Elliot, and their longtime friend and collaborator Louie Lino - continue pursuing their humanistic vision of the world through hooky, catchy rock songs with sharply drawn, yet tenderly felt lyrics. 'Never Not Together' is a wide-ranging collection of songs that revel in the group's ability to evoke and reflect grand and intricately wrought emotions, whether through sweeping guitar solos or hushed-whisper vocals.
