NY's Nada Surf has been together for almost a dozen years, becoming one of America's most resilient and truly independent bands. Along with their previous two albums, 2003's LET GO and 2005's THE WEIGHT IS a GIFT, LUCKY is the final piece of a rather astounding trilogy that, taken as a whole, manages to express more about the frustrations and joys of modern life than most artists can expect to assemble over a career. Guest appearances include Ben Gibbard, Sean Nelson, Ed Harcourt, Phil Wandscher and John Roderick.
