How can we wonder Nada Surf? With a discography rather flat, his style has been maintained since "High / Low" (1996) to the recent "The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy" pop rock with a respectable result of a simple formula: strong melodies, lyrics that delve on social issues in an elaborate and original (not everything is "Always Love") and a special heat transmitted to the public in every direct. Three items that are not out of the ordinary and that together, are what should be any band that deserves to go on stage. The magic of Nada Surf is that by doing what they do and how they, beyond reach. They are alchemists of his own music on stage and just becoming something else. One thing that hooked.
But before you start with New York, special mention for Waters. I could say that 'heated up the atmosphere', which is the stone with which we carry all the openers, but I fall short, so short that I had some panic to the direct ensombreciesen Nada Surf. Very Pixies, the San Francisco knew how to win guitarrazo based scenic and strength, no shoegazer attitude, all by and for the audience front and forceful. They played songs from his latest album "Out in the Light", and ended with them singing "Forever Forever" "Mickey Mantle". The good feeling was served on the Riviera, and just needed the appearance of those legendary dreadlocks Daniel Lorca and company.
And Lorca, Spanish representation of Nada Surf, strong wine. Lasted only two songs ("Clear Mind Clouded Eye" and "Waiting For Something") before turning to the audience the third issue, for non-neophytes of the banda was a blessing: "Happy Kid" from the album " Let Go ". Thus began a presentation of his new album in a wide mix knew setlist with an overview of the most notorious of his discography. We, who know what we like and how. That's how accommodating they are.
The last time I saw Nada Surf was a live recording for Radio 3 concerts featuring the album "Lucky". On Saturday in Madrid had rejuvenated. It had to do, and much, incorporation for this tour of two components: Martin Wenk of Calexico and Doug Guillard of Guided by Voices gave a clear added value to Nada Surf, introducing new topics and offering a different force cuts always with an air of reinvention-listen to a final "80 windows" with trumpet and including "Hi Speed Soul" with the touch of theremin is dissonant, certainly something more and better in the race for New Yorkers. Besides knowing what we like, know how to do it differently. Do not bore us know.
There is something you notice in the environment in concert Nada Surf: despite being surrounded by hundreds of strangers (the Riviera sold out Saturday night in the capital) feels an implicit camaraderie that goes with any direct banda. Including political message through the defense of the Internet ("If we are here for nothing: unburden what I feel like it"), Nada Surf get a familiarity that causes a confirmation of a date in a city is mandatory . But when they start sounding chords of songs like "See These Bones" or the version of "Evolution" of Mercromina.
I will not detract from the new songs sounded flawless, and far more villains than I expected after hearing the album-but I, sometimes I get very sentimental, I'll take the last two encores: "Popular" and "Year Blankest ". Matthew Caws is delivered as recited this poem teen, but that both moves and touches of "Popular". And just crying together a "Fuck it, I'm goint to Have A Party". At the end of the day, Nada Surf are a 'usual'. And we always want to stay here.
