High/Low is the debut studio album by the American band Nada Surf, released in 1996.[1] [2] It contains the hit single "Popular".[3] High/Low was produced by Ric Ocasek.[4] Nada Surf supported it by touring with Superdrag and the Gravel Pit.[5]
The Baltimore Sun noted that "there's an almost elegant austerity to the album's sound, but what ultimately brings the songs into focus is the band's ultra-efficient playing, which is so sparing you'd think the recording studio charged them by the note."[6] The Ottawa Citizen concluded that Nada Surf "may have been moulded by a superior studio presence, but the root of their sound, guitar-driven and heavy on the backbeat, speaks of an energy that was harnessed and focused, not manufactured."[7]
All tracks written by Matthew Caws and Daniel Lorca, except where noted.
