photo by Dave Lichterman ( view set ) It's hard enough to believe that Nada Surf has been making such great music for going on twenty years now, but to hear their vigor and vitality-infused new album, The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy , you'd think they were a new band of twenty-somethings who still thought the world belonged to them. Maybe it still does. If not, it should! Nada Surf has long been the band you needed to include on your mixtape or was the right fit for a soundtrack. Matthew Caws [...]

Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Nada Surf Video: 'When I Was Young' Highlight: "The video for 'When I Was Young' was filmed and directed by Phil Harder in our hometown, New York City," lead singer/guitarist Matthew Caws tells Spinner.

The only suggestions that went out to Phil were a kid growing up in New York and [...]

Releasing charming album after charming album they've built up a loyal following despite remaining, in the UK at least, neglected by playlist compilers and magazine editors. While the fickle fingers of hype and hyperbole have never been their style, noone who witnessed their blitz two date tour of our fair isles could deny that whatever they have been doing is working for them. Now in their 402s and boasting more than just a few grey hairs the [...]

Voor een one-hit-wonder heeft Nada Surf een wel hele lange adem. 1996 was het dat "Popular" een hit was en sindsdien is Nada Surf ondanks het uitblijven van nieuwe hits in de schaduw een constante factor gebleven in het clubcircuit....

For fans of New York alternative rockers, Nada Surf, 2010 must have been something of a disappointing year. Whereas 2008 yielded Lucky , 2010 saw Nada Surf release If I Had A Hi-Fi , an album made up entirely of cover songs. Whilst there's nothing wrong with covers, it's often contentious for fans who come to expect an album of original material every couple of years to have to wait four. Still, Nada Surf have always been a band to take their time, and The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy sees Nada Surf continuing with what [...]

Nada Surf have been making music for 20 years now, and are back with their sixth studio album and third with label City Slang. "The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy" hits the shelves on 23rd January, after a long four year break. The band's name, according to lead singer Matthew Caws, is "actually referring to something much more existential, it's just surfing on nothing. Being lost in your head or in your imagination but you know, whenever I listen to music I always find myself off somewhere. Somewhere in space. You know, in mental space and it's a reference to [...]

Despite being written off as a one-hit wonder in the late-'90s, Nada Surf have quietly been putting out a steady stream of fantastic studio albums full of their brand of instantly catchy indie-pop songs that deserve your attention.
