With the band restless after the campaign for their third album, Can You Really Find Me (2019), which was prematurely cut short by COVID-19, they did their best to keep busy: writing songs, building greenhouses in South Dakota for a friend, rehearsing the aforementioned songs. That album was set to be made at Pachyderm Studios but had to be relocated when studio owner John Kuker sadly passed away on the eve of the recording dates. The band and Agnello had worked together previously on the band’s second album, 2016’s Pennied Days. These aren’t pandemic songs… more a bit of unfinished business that the pandemic allowed to be fulfilled. The Redaction includes the thrumming “ As Innocent Looking As Candy,” a breathless meditation on gun violence, as well as the previously released “spaced-out classic” (Stereogum) " Feel Another Day,” “surreal” (Brooklyn Vegan) “ Vulnerable Hours,” “psychedelic” (Under The Radar) “ Fallacy Actually," as well as a handful of new songs. With legendary producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Horsegirl, Kurt Vile, Dinosaur Jr.) lending a hand, the resulting songs prove the band's evolution as songwriters, still trading in massive pop hooks that manage to convey yearning melancholy with a sense of maturity and perspective. Minneapolis-based quartet Night Moves returned in July 2022 with The Redaction EP, a short cinematic collage, harmoniously shaped together to create an EP that seamlessly blends psychedelia with a classic cozy twang.
