Nada Surf - If I Had a Hi
Reviewed by yewknee
Previously only available at shows, Nada Surf has been kind enough to widely release this compilation of various cover songs. Honestly, if you weren't familiar with the original material you would think this is just a collection of new Nada Surf songs. That is to say, they don't really stretch their style out in any way to match the original but, rather, bend the originals into a proper Nada Surf pop song. If you have a super soft spot for the originals it may be tough to hear them reworked this way but, as a Nada Surf fan, it's nice to hear the likes of Depeche Mode, Spoon and loads more presented this way.
