Double Life (Vinyl LP)

It's been six long years since John Pelant and his Night Moves band graced us with a full-length album. Thank goodness we didn't give up hope, because Double Life is on its way to whet our appetite for rock'n'roll the way the radio used to play it. Taking musical cues from corners as many and varied as Gram Parsons, Panda Bear, and Cleaners From Venus, nobody does it quite like Minneapolis' finest - welcome back Night Moves. - Flying Out

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.
