Following the release of their career-spanning limited edition vinyl box set last November, Nada Surf are excited to be extending their love affair with wax. On April 14th their albums the proximity effect, let go, and the weight is a gift will be put out individually on vinyl. The albums have been out of print on vinyl for many years, and Nada Surf wanted to re-issue these records and make them available to fans who couldn't get their hands on the box-set last fall.
