STARS ARE INDIFFERENT TO ASTRONOMY (VINYL)

"Did you ever, as a kid, want to crawl into the speakers'" asks Nada Surf singer-guitarist Matthew Caws. "I did - here was OK, but there was much better." And that's pretty much what Nada Surf is all about - Caws, bassist Daniel Lorca, and drummer Ira Elliot are in love with the way rock music can transport you to a new and wonderful place in a beguiling rush of beats, chords, hooks and words, And they do it 10 times over on their brilliant sixth album, the stars are indifferent to astronomy.
