Nada Surf 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 ten times over on their brilliant sixth album, The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy. Stars is Nada Surf’s first album of new material in almost four years. After touring 2008’s acclaimed Lucky, they released 2010’s palindromically titled If I Had a Hi-Fi, an album of covers of some of the band’s favorite musicians. Nada Surf had made all but their first record outside of New York, figuring they’d avoid distractions. But if you want to preserve the energy of the practice room, why not record in the practice room? So for The Stars they set up shop in their rehearsal space in Lorca’s long-time loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The place is nicknamed The Sitcom because it regularly hosts a revolving cast of colorful characters and some legendary parties. The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy continues the notion of music as an alternative reality, and songs as things you can keep by your side for inspiration and support. Which is what makes Nada Surf a truly beloved band.
