Get There is a studio album collaboration by American singer-songwriter Juliana Hatfield and Matthew Caws (lead singer of the band Nada Surf) under the band name Minor Alps. It was released on October 29, 2013 by Barsuk Records.
Juliana Hatfield and Matthew Caws, friends and infrequent collaborators since the early 1990s—they met at some Nada Surf shows—decided to form a band together and work on a project that is this resulting record.
The name of the band, Minor Alps, is a reference to the location of a cottage Caws' parents owned in France near Mont Ventoux. Caws described the mountain as a "minor alp" to a friend, and the expression stuck in his mind. "In the tradition of Iron Butterfly or Led Zeppelin, band names that contain contradictions, we chose Minor Alps—humble mountains," said Caws.
Hatfield and Caws co-wrote the record and sung on all of the songs together. They also played all of the instruments with the exception of drums and programming, which were supplied by Parker Kindred (Joan As Police Woman, Antony and the Johnsons, second Jeff Buckley record) and Chris Egan (Say Hi To Your Mom, Computer Magic, Solange). Kindred used a Roland TR-909 drum machine from the late 1980s to provide percussion. The record was mostly recorded by Tom Beaujour, a childhood friend of Caws', in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Pack our bags and hit the road
With a group of friends we know
To the places that we dont
Its how we find out what were made of
As the scenery will change
Between the coastal states
So dont you worry
We drive when we want
So dont ask us to stay
To the west coast and the sun
I won't sleep till we make it
We'll have stories you'll die just to hear
California here we come
So long, say so long
So long before
Before we even get there
Take a day off in July
It's hard here to survive
When we always miss goodbye
Everything we do it for you
So sing along, its not for long
Cause minutes pass before this song is done
Away driving on Sunday
As this fog sets in its not worth the try
So we pull this van aside
And we wait somewhere in L.A.
You call and were laughing
Because we know just what to say
