On ‘If I Had a Hi-Fi,’ a collection of covers due out June 8, Nada Surf take on songs by everyone from brooding synth-pop institution Depeche Mode to newbie California garage-rock quartet the Soft Pack. There’s even a Moody Blues tune, for all the dads out there.
Asked what he, a longtime rock aficionado, looks for in a cover version, Nada Surf frontman Matthew Caws tells Spinner it’s all about song selection.
“My favorite covers are the ones where the song is really well-chosen, like when the Pretenders covered a couple of Kinks songs,” Caws says. “‘Stop Your Sobbing’ and ‘I Go to Sleep’ are two songs that I think were hidden classics. The Kinks version of ‘Stop Your Sobbing’ was kind of confusing and not really — I don’t know the right word — the right feeling. The Pretenders one feels like it grew that final bit. And I’m not making any comparisons to us; I’m just saying as a listener, that’s what I like.”
