Nada Surf - Let Go

Let Go (20th Anniversary 2LP Turquoise Vinyl)

Limited to 1,000 copies worldwide

Includes download code for the album

"A dozen near-perfect pop songs, each one teeming with joyful desperation." — Entertainment Weekly

Barsuk Records and Nada Surf are releasing a 20th Anniversary Edition of this indie-rock classic Let Go, a turquoise vinyl pressing limited to 1,000 copies worldwide.

Heralded by the music press and beloved by fans around the world, Let Go is a perennial best-indie-rock-albums list-maker, recognized for rejuvenating the band's career after an awkward parting with their initial label, Elektra.

"Getting dropped after our second record was kind of a blessing. We all of sudden had all this time to be back in our normal lives," says Matthew Caws. "There was just enough going with the band to justify not figuring out what the next step in life should be, what other career I should try and figure out. I didn't make myself go to grad school or anything. I worked at the local record store, went to shows, messed around with home recording, buying and selling a couple of used 4-tracks and then 8-tracks, trying different set-ups. I lived in a rent-controlled apartment in Williamsburg that was directly above a fruit and vegetable shop.

"The building I lived in was falling apart. The wind blew right through the walls. I had ice inside my windows in winter. I could make a little noise without bothering anyone. I bought a toy drum kit. It was kind of like making a first album all over again. We didn't have the sense that anyone was watching, we were back in a vacuum. That
was very freeing."
