Nada Surf - "In Front of Me Now"

If you haven't been paying attention, it'll have been easy to miss that Nada Surf have been one of the most consistently great bands of the last three decades. The band's latest single, "In Front of Me Now," perfectly showcases that. It's just a solid alt-rock song done in Nada Surf's unique style. The new song shows growth in the band's sound. It sounds like a Nada Surf song, but instead of just resting on their name and catalog, they've pushed themselves forward and released a track that stands up with everything they've released before. How many bands have been around for thirty years and are still releasing new music that we can be genuinely be excited about?

Matthew Caws says of the band's new video:

“We know the pandemic is over, but we made a Covid-era video to save on gas. Made on location (i.e. where we live) in Cambridge, England, Sarasota, Florida, Ibiza, Spain, and Austin, Texas, we bring you ‘In Front of Me Now,’ my diary of not being a great multi-tasker and wanting to be present for everything from now on if possible.”
