'The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy' marks Nada Surf 's seventh release. The New Yorkers have once again delivered a sampling of poignant rock music that can only be ascertained from years of collective experience. Now well into their 40s, the band is living proof that the hopes of youthful dreams can continue to prosper. From the days in which Nada Surf were mere additions to 'The O.C.' soundtracks, the group have long since been held in high esteem on British shores. Their developing stature has continued to thrive, revealing an exclusive approach [...]
Catching up with Drake , always catching up with Drake. -ed. Dylan Baldi's Cloud Nothings get it together on Attack on Memory Words : Drake LeLane As the first month of 2012 nears its close, we have our very first year-end contender with the sophomore release from Cloud Nothings. Steve Albini's production combined with Dylan Baldi surrounding himself with a full band makes for a giant leap from his debut. Besides that, there are noteworthy releases from The [...]
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 [...]
My best radio show to date. Filled with great music from Metrojolt and a few other goodies, as well as requests from Kay, Forrest, and Mark. The highlight of this week's show was my challenge to listeners: for every listener above 15, I offered to take off an article of clothing. We hit 22, the peak listeners for KSDT this year, but didn't break the record. That'll be for next week. Now the pressure is on to come up with an even more interesting scheme for people to listen in...! Or maybe they'll come back for the music? [...]
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. Late last month the Brooklyn-based band released their full length release The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy , and their first of original material since 20082s Lucky , that once again shows off their knack for soundtrack-y tunes that you somehow are singing along to barely after a first listen. Earlier this [...]

Tomorrow, the bomb will drop and the full lineup for Sasquatch! Music Festival 2012 will be revealed. But for most of us, two days is far too long to wait. So instead of advocating for patience, why don't we look go through some hopefuls and find out who is probably playing and who isnt? Let's start with the bad news. Bands that play in the Seattle area April or afterwards are not likely to make an appearance. This year, that includes a lot of names. After Radiohead was announced to be playing [...]

1. Machinedrum- SXLND I think people tend to assume that every album that gets incorporated into this segment must not be that enjoyable to me or something. That's not completely the truth since there are even decent releases that I can't necessarily get to.

In this Y U NO REVIEW, Anthony talks a bit about the latest album releases from Common, Crosses, Enter Shikari, Kayo Dot, and Asher Roth. Here are some short opinions on other albums that were missed this past month as well: 1.

It's sorta strange to think of Nada Surf frontman Matthew Caws as an elder statesman of the indie-rock game, even with that vibrant voice. But here he is in his 40s, a little gray around the edges and performing live in oxford shirts and sport coats. Nobody could blame him for surrendering to nostalgia, as he does a few times on the new album, The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy , and especially on the wistful lead single, "When I Was Young." The video takes a pretty literal approach [...]

Mick Rock I will be the first to admit to not really being able to tell where Bradford Cox's Deerhunter ends and his Atlas Sound begins. I know that the former is ostensibly a band and the latter a solo project, but to my ears the hazy, psychedelic rock that each project produces isn't exactly a world apart. Okay, Atlas Sound is more keys, less guitars, but they're both critically adored and don't really do a lot for me, despite on paper being the sort of thing I should totally dig. [...]
This past week, San Diego and its residents were blessed with a heat wave that is more reminiscent of summer than the dead of winter. The natural order of things seemed to be out of place. In comes Nada Surf on Saturday night in support of their brand new album The Stars are Indifferent to Astronomy . Nada Surf delivered a stellar performance which whizzed through much of their new record, but also pulled from their reservoir of older material. The Soft Pack, in their supporting role, offered the crowd a take on indie rock's newer incarnation, and a [...]
