Nada Surf’s latest record, The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy, released on January 24, is worth a listen.
Similar to their previous six albums, Nada Surf successfully blends punk-rock guitar riffs with mellow vocals to keep listeners entertained. The album is split into two parts that feature vastly different content.
With hits like “When I was Young,” Part A focuses on childhood experiences and innocence. The album then moves into Part B and looks to “The Future.”
The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy has a few stand out hits but also features a couple of disappointing tracks. “Waiting For Someone” is an extremely mellow song with no dynamic changes and might be a song to skip when listening to the album. In contrast, “Let The Fight Do The Fighting” uses a variety of instruments including trumpets and cellos to add extra dimension to the song. It will definitely make listeners want to get up and dance.
Overall, Nada Surf combines creative lyrics with rocking rhythms to produce another solid album. Hopefully the New York band does not call it quits any time soon.
