Nada Surf front person Matthew Caws chats with Paul about the themes and inspirations behind his band's shiny new album Moon Mirror (New West Records) and reflects on the band's three-decades making records, including tales of being mentored by the late great Ric Ocasek, having an early hit with "Popular," and working on the new one at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire, Wales. But as you'll hear, while it's fun to look back, today, Nada Surf do what's in front of them now.
