Squeeze the Air and Keep the Rest Out

Nada Surf is hard at work on their next album tentatively titled Time for Plan A, which, speaking of Barsuk, will be released by the label probably early next year.

The set was recorded in February in Seattle with producer John Goodmanson and will likely feature guest appearances from Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Juliana Hatfield, Harvey Danger's Sean Nelson and the Long Winters' John Roderick.

Sounds like a smorgasbord of intellectual power-poppers. If half the songs are half as good as Always Love, it'll be a masterpiece.
