The Dulcitone Files

Nada Surf

Five tracks of skeletal, bell-accented acoustic re-imaginings. A quiet, wooden, and deeply intimate companion to the band's more polished studio work.

It's like Nada Surf playing a private set in your living room with a 100-year-old music box.

A quiet, wooden stillness that feels both antique and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The delicate, bell-like chime of the dulcitone providing a fragile counterpoint to the acoustic strumming on track 1.
Matthew Caws' voice dropping to a near-whisper during the bridge of When I Was Young, making the listener lean in.
The way the natural reverb of the room fills the silence between guitar chords on Waiting for Something.
