Nada Surf are excited to share Charly Bliss' cover of "The Way You Wear Your Head" from Standing At The Gates: The Songs of Nada Surf's Let Go, a self-released charity album featuring a diverse list of artists covering the seminal record in honor of its 15th anniversary. The cover debuted via Stereogum, who noted that it "maintains the striking melodicism Eva Hendricks and band are known for but overlays the band's usual electro-shock power-pop with a swirling shoegaze haze." At The Gates features covers by Aimee Mann, Rogue Wave, Manchester Orchestra and more. Standing At The Gates will be released digitally tomorrow and on CD on March 2, 2018. Nada Surf supports the ACLU and The Pablove Foundation.
Nada Surf is also slated to tour in celebration of Let Go's 15th anniversary. The shows are billed as 'An Evening with Nada Surf, Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Let Go.' The band will perform Let Go, take a break, and return for a second set. There will be no support on these shows.
Originally released in 2003, Let Go had different track listings in the US and UK/EU. This compilation features the US track listing and includes "No Quick Fix" (recorded by Victoria Bergsman of Taken by Trees/The Concretes), a song that appeared only on the initial UK/EU release. "Neither Heaven Nor Space" wasn't included on the initial release in the UK/EU.
Let Go was heralded by the music press (except for Pitchfork, which gave the album a 3.8/10), and is recognized for rejuvenating the band's career after an awkward parting with their initial label, Elektra Records
