Lucky by Nada Surf

Indie mainstays Nada Surf have returned to the stage with a new album called Lucky ($13) that manages to retain the old sound that its refined so well, while not feeling out of touch with their contemporaries. It's one of the band's most consistent efforts to date, with nearly all tracks delivering and only two falling flat. The band has launched on a massive world tour in support of the album, many of the dates accompanied by the excellent Sea Wolf. Standout tracks: "See These Bones," "Weightless" and "I Like What You Say."
