For more than 30 years, New York City band Nada Surf have crafted hook-laden and witty power pop. In the ’90s, they worked with Ric Ocasek of The Cars, scoring major label hits before returning to their indie rock roots. On September 13th, they release their highly anticipated new LP, Moon Mirror, on New West Records. Packed with heartfelt reflections on acceptance, loss, and hope, the new album showcases a revitalized band. On singles like “What’s In Front of Me Now,” Caws offers up literate and wise lyrics about acceptance. It’s not a sermon—there’s no self-righteousness to be found—but something like a jangle rock pep talk from a trusted friend sharing how he made it through.
