Overview
Nu-Clear Sounds was originally released in 1998 in the UK. It was released in the United States a year later on the Dreamworks label. This release of the album featured remixes of three songs ("Jesus Says", "Wild Surf", and "Folk Song"), a restructured track list, and included the non-album single "A Life Less Ordinary" as the closing track.
Connection to Weezer
Ash frontman Tim Wheeler has professed in interviews that Weezer's album Pinkerton was a direct influence on Nu-Clear Sounds.
