Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
With their lyrical references to wolfpacks and convoys, Sopwith Camels and doodlebugs, Nada Surf can seem like British Sea Power’s nerdier cousins.
But there’s a combination of emotional immediacy and musical sophistication in tracks such as “Whose Authority” and “The Film Did Not Go Round” that more strongly bring to mind REM or Fleetwood Mac.
Stylistically, they utilise a diverse range of approaches, from the skiffle of “Here Goes Something” to the oompah-band climax of “Ice On TheWing”.
There’s a sizeable complement of lyrical guile and wisdom on display, too, not least the recognition of human fallibility in “Weightless”: “Behind every desire is another one/Waiting to be liberated/When the first one is sated”.
