NIGHT MOVES - DOUBLE LIFE NIGHT MOVES

'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.
