Night Moves sign to Domino Records

​Just last week for our Year in Music issue, we here at Gimme Nosie headquarters were reflecting on some of the year's overnight successes among up-and-coming Twin Cities bands. The most obvious of those, of course, have been Howler--signed to London's Rough Trade before even releasing an album--and Polica, who already played CMJ and toured with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Now it looks like we can add another band to that list: Night Moves.
The quartet, whose psychedelic music is often described as a cross between Todd Rundgren and Gram Parsons, announced early this afternoon on their Twitter feed that they will be releasing their debut album sometime next year on indie heavyweight Domino Records. Based in London, Domino's current roster of artists includes such big-name acts as Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, and Arctic Monkeys.

"The band is really excited," their manager, Paul Gillis, told Gimme Noise via email. He says they've been working on the deal for several months and that their first record should come out sometime "in the middle of 2012."
