Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

15 May 2024

Seasoned NYC rockers NADA SURF have finished the recordings of their 9th LP.
They called it MOON MIRROR and will make their fans happy with its summer
release on August 19. More info here.

Matthew Caws (vocalist/guitarist/co-founder about the new longplayer: “Every time we make an album, I’m asked (and ask myself) what it’s about. I never know how to answer that question. I’m still trying to figure everything out, and that’s probably as close to a theme as there is. Looking back over the years,

I know what our songs are about in theory: trying to reach acceptance (of circumstances,
of oneself, of others), connection, a constant search for possibility and the bright side, a willingness to change, forgiveness, curiosity, checking in with one’s mortality, motivations and judgements, etc. But in the moment when making one up, I have no idea what I’m doing and maybe that’s ok. I’m just trying to stay honest with myself and take my best guess at making sense of the world.”

First single: IN FRONT OF ME NOW

Caws: “We know the pandemic is over, but we made a Covid-era video to save on gas.
Made on location (i.e. where we live) in Cambridge, England, Sarasota, Florida, Ibiza, Spain,
and Austin, Texas, we bring you ‘In Front of Me Now,’ my diary of not being a great multi-tasker and wanting to be present for everything from now on if possible.”

‘In Front Of Me‘ sounds like Hüsker Dü going pop. Guitar-motorized, sizzlingly speedy
and infectiously melodic. The main difference with HD is Caws‘ sprightly vocality
whereas Bob Mould‘s pipes were made to rage and rant
