The Proximity Effect, released in 1998, was the second album released by the alternative/indie band Nada Surf. The album was self-released under the MarDev label. The songs "Hyperspace" and "Amateur" were the best-known songs released from the album. It is considered by many fans as their better LP. Matthew Caws confessed that this fact is explained by the cost of its production, as the band was then on Elektra Records.

  • The Proximity Effect, released in 1998, was the second album released by the alternative/indie band Nada Surf. The album was self-released under the MarDev label. The songs "Hyperspace" and "Amateur" were the best-known songs released from the album. It is considered by many fans as their better LP. Matthew Caws confessed that this fact is explained by the cost of its production, as the band was then on Elektra Records. Finding no radio-friendly single on this album, Elektra asked the band to write a hit, and had them record covers of other artists, trying to push Why Are You So Mean To Me? as the first single, but the band eventually refused to work on it any further, as they believed it was artistically perfect. As a result, while it was released, critically acclaimed, and welcomed by the public, in Europe in September 1998, with the band doing many shows in Europe, including a 30-show tour in France in early 1999, Elektra cut its funding and later dropped the band, not releasing it in the USA, while a few promotional copies had already been pressed. Nada Surf spent the following couple of years struggling to get the rights over the album, in order to release it on its own structure, MarDev, in August 2000. The re-issue has the last 2 tracks take the place of both covers found on the original release.
  • The Proximity Effect est le second album du groupe de rock américain Nada Surf. L'album n'a pas fait un grand succès en France, il est presque passé inaperçu. Deux versions différentes de l'album ont été éditées, l'une en 1998 et l'autre en 2000.
  • The Proximity Effect is het tweede studioalbum van de Amerikaanse band Nada Surf. Het album werd al in 1998 in Europa uitgebracht, maar kwam door een conflict met platenlabel Elektra Records pas in 2000 in de Verenigde Staten uit. Bekendste nummers van deze release zijn Hyperspace en Amateur. Het album is favoriet bij veel fans van de band. De opnames van de plaat zijn betaald door Elektra Records, het label waar de band op dat moment onder contract stond. Omdat de opnames volgens het label geen radiovriendelijke single zou bevatten, werd de band gevraagd een hit te schrijven. Nada Surf weigerde echter toe te geven aan deze wens. Ten tijde van deze gebeurtenissen was het album al uitgebracht in Europa, waar de band op tour was ter promotie van het album. Tijdens deze tour ontbond Elektra het contract met de band. Na een lange strijd om de rechten van het album, bracht Nada Surf het in 2000 uit in de Verenigde Staten, op het eigen MarDev-label.
  • The Proximity Effect é o segundo álbum de estúdio da banda Nada Surf, lançado a 22 de Setembro de 1998.
