THE NADAS
Almanac
The Nadas have logged a lot of time in near-obscurity, with a résumé that spans 15 years, eight albums and even a tribute disc from fellow indie artists. Their latest effort, released on their own Authentic Records label, ostensibly includes songs written for each month of the past year. Truth be told, there’s no clear reference to the calendar in these individual entries aside from “New Year’s Eve,” which simulates the sounds of a holiday celebration. Nonetheless, the unabashed exuberance emitted by these punchy pop melodies is irresistible, from the unrelenting energy of “Last to Know” and “Bitter Love,” to the bittersweet refrains of “Wrecking Ball” and “Call Me.”
