Colored Emotions

Effortlessly blending bluesy, wholesome Americana with bursts of psychedelia against atmospheric soundscapes, it's unsurprising that Night Moves worked with producer/mixer Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Beachwood Sparks, Devendra Banhart) to tighten and brighten the album. However, it's the apparent maturity of 'Colored Emotions' that separates it from many debut releases.

The core members of Night Moves, guitarist/lead vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, grew up together in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and spent their younger years rotating in and out of one another's musical orbits. After a couple of promising false starts, the trio re-coalesced in 2009 in earnest as Night Moves and began recording.
