S4 Ep6: Matthew Caws (Nada Surf)

My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

Our guest today is the musician Matthew Caws.
Matthew is the lead singer and guitarist in the band Nada Surf, a band he formed in New York City in the early ‘90s with his friend, Daniel Lorca. In total, Nada Surf have put out nine studio albums, and their most recent, Never Not Together, came out in 2020.

Nada Surf also had the pleasure of touring with Elliott Smith and the band Quasi in 1998, and in this interview we discuss Matthew’s memories of that tour, why he decided to turn down the opportunity to play solo shows with Elliott and his 'favourite' song pick too.
Hope you enjoy it!
