The second album from Minneapolis-based band Night Moves, Pennied Days, will be out on March 25th. Written and recorded by principle band members John Pelant and Micky Alfano, and produced by John Angello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, The Walkmen), the album feels warm with feeling, tinged with a deep appreciation for rock and roll's most storied songwriters. Ranging from traditionalist heroes like Leon Russell and The Band to r'n'b originators Curtis Mayfield and Sly Stone to pre-punk experimentalists Suicide. It's distinctly modern and a great leap forward from 2012's Colored Emotions. Pennied Days was recorded following tours with Father John Misty, Lord Huron, Django Django, and Polica, in support of the previous album.

One of my favourite albums of 2016
One of my favourite albums of 2016. A great follow up to their impressive debut, blending similar influences of country, surf, and general rock n roll Americana. It sounds like a lost undiscovered classic from the 70s... a beautiful fusion of drums, guitar, bass, keyboard and vocal harmonies. Yes, it's rich with many recognisable influences but they nevertheless come up with a beautiful sound that it is somehow uniquely their own.Loved it - turns out rock n roll really ain't dead.

At Last, A New Album
Night Moves are eventually back with a new album, albeit only nine tracks long. Their first album was released way back in 2012 so you can see we have had to wait quite some time for this to appear. Apparently there have been a number of re-writes for some of these tracks and it sort of shows through.You can hear certain influences coming through where perhaps the band were trying to emulate others, or using it as a springboard for their own ideas, which means that this does at times have a slightly dated feel. If you listen to the lyrics at times you do get the thought that they can be a bit stifled and by the numbers, rather than truly inspired, although each song does seem to work to a certain degree.So what we eventually end up with is something that it has to be admitted is quite nice to listen to but lacks true inspiration. Although their first album was quite enjoyed in the States by a number of people I can’t really see this doing the same, and I think people could be slightly disappointed. This for me is something to put on as background music, and it works fine for that, but this isn’t something that is going to make you sit up and think this is the bee’s knees. I would say this is something to consider if you are looking for something that is easy to listen to for background music, but not something to get you or a party starting.Perhaps the best analogy is that this is a band that you would hire or listen to on the radio or what have you, but you wouldn’t rush out to buy tickets to see them in concert.
