Night Moves

NIGHT MOVES IN CONCERT: Minneapolis psych-folk trio Night Moves’ 2016 sophomore album Pennied Days was three years in the making, but it was worth the wait. The record sees the band perfecting all the things they did so well on their acclaimed debut—the lush harmonies soar higher than ever, the guitar and synth riffs are instantly classic, and the brilliant attention to sonic detail pulls listeners into the band’s immersive songs more effectively than ever. In concert Night Moves brings painstakingly crafted songs like “Carl Sagan” and “Denise, Don’t Wanna See You Cry” to life with palpable emotion, performing on top-of-the-line vintage gear and nailing each perfectly composed passage with bulletproof musicianship. Their classic sound and charismatic performances recall the magic of Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac, and while many bands strive for such a comparison, Night Moves is unique in that they’re the rare group who is actually capable of matching the timeless quality of the Mac.
