It's a hard trick to pull off wearing all your influences, which are largely collected from the 70s, classic songwriters, Gram Parsons, yacht rock and 90s country yet sound convincing and void of retro corniness. Night Moves are one of the 21st centuries best at pulling off that trick of making the classic sound current. 

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.
