I've enjoyed the output from American band Nada Surf for some time. Their last album 'Lucky' was a true masterpiece, chock full of great melodies and vocals, coupled with a crisp and full production not always evident on previous releases. So I was really looking forward to their new album 'The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy' and for the most part I'm not disappointed. Aside from a couple of filler songs, it's bang on the money again. Lead man Matthew Caws is again the star with his versatile and distinctive voice. The fact that he has now relocated to Cambridge in the UK, from his native New York, only adds to the way I relate to his lyrics, which are clearly personal and usually thought-provoking. Not to underestimate the contribution of his two fellow band members who are once again on fine form. They've been producing quality output for 20 years now and the standard hasn't dipped. Not many people have heard of them and I kind of like that...a hidden gem of a band just for me. But it would be mean not to share them a little.
