    Explained: The Origins of "The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy"

    Jan 20, 2012

    Peter Caws, professor of Philosopy and father to Nada Surf's Matthew, explains on his website the thoughts behind the title "The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy:

    "The world scientific theories are about doesn’t know or care how scientists think about it or whether what they think is right. We name things – animals, vegetables, minerals, atoms, molecules, genes - but the things we name don’t know their names; dogs don’t know they are dogs, electrons don’t know they are electrons, the moon doesn’t know it’s the moon.  I’ve found that a quick way of summarizing this serene detachment of the natural world from the human activity of science is to say that “the stars are indifferent to astronomy.”  Nothing could have pleased me more than to have Nada Surf adopt this tagline for their new album."

    You can read his illuminating essay on the subject here...

Mr. M started in a painter’s studio in fact. Wagner explains. “As I worked, I was approached by Mark Nevers (former full time band member & producer for the likes of Andrew Bird and Will Oldham) with the idea of making another Lambchop record. He had a concept of a sound and a method that worked with the tone of my writing. His idea was a kind of ‘psycho-Sinatra’ sound, one that  […] READ ON

SLANG50015 | SLANG50015LP

"The Something Rain" is tindersticks ninth studio album and like its predecessors "The Hungry Saw" and "Falling Down A Mountain" it projects a bold spirit, something charged with what Uncut described as a "restored self-belief, again loving doing what they do and doing it better than anyone else”. Though within "The Something Rain" there is something else; the band, the ideas are formed - it  […] READ ON

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  […] READ ON
