Nada Surf announce new record You Know Who You Are, share lead single "Believe You're Mine"

The new LP will be the outfit's eighth on City Slang, and was produced by frequent collaborator Tom Beaujour. It is also the first outing as an official quartet, with the core trio of Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca, and Ira Elliot now bolstered by Doug Gillard.

Speaking about the record, Caws explains the influence of hindsight: “I was so eager to have an album done that I believed in it as it was, but the great thing about being 'finished' is that you can take a breath and evaluate, because the pressure to 'do it' is gone. The more I listened and thought about it, the more I realized that I might want to keep working. There were already a bunch of songs in the can that we all liked, so I could think more expansively about what the album could be."

“Sometimes it feels like, to our audience at least, we are two or three different bands at once,” the frontman adds. “It seems some people are looking to feel better, for encouragement getting over their obstacles, for help figuring life out… not that I've done that myself, other people are looking for love songs, and then some others just want to rock.”

You Know Who You Are is released on 4 March by City Slang. It follows 2012 album The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy.
