Night Moves - Double Life (Curacao Blue Vinyl)

Double Life, the fourth Night Moves album and first in six years, is a cozy and cool LP built largely from a string of very rough breaks that singer John Pelant and Night Moves have navigated in recent years. Pelant is the sort of songwriter who starts with the music—inspired of late by Glen Campbell and Bobby Caldwell, Cleaners from Venus and early ’90s country, Panda Bear and (as ever) Gram Parsons—and then writes lyrics only after he’s sat with the tune a spell. But this time, these songs are direct documents of Pelant’s life as he searches for silver linings or at least valuable meanings during a moment when very little seemed golden. Double Life is about moving through, not moving on. A1. Trying To Steal A Smile A2. Daytona A3. Hold On To Tonight A4. Almost Perfect A5. State Sponsored Psychosis B1. Ring My Bell B2. The Judge B3.
