Nada Surf - High/Low LP (Rhino Reserve, Brick & Mortar Exclusive) (Preorder: Ships October 23, 2026)

Nada Surf’s High/Low is a sharp, melodic burst of ’90s alternative rock that balances youthful angst with strong pop sensibilities. Released in 1996, the album is driven by crunchy guitars, dynamic shifts, and emotionally direct songwriting that captures both frustration and vulnerability.

Anchored by the breakout single “Popular,” the record moves between energetic, hook-driven rockers and more introspective moments, showcasing the band’s ability to blend irony with sincerity. While firmly rooted in the alternative rock sound of its era, High/Low stands out for its melodic clarity and emotional honesty.

It remains a defining debut that introduced Nada Surf as a band with both bite and heart.
