(Milwaukee, WI, USA)
Mixing small town sincerity with big city sophistication is no easy feat, yet Milwaukee's GOODNIGHT LOVING pulls it off with humble confidence. It's the earnestness, craft and originality of this group that gives them their ability to never disappoint or even 'just' meet expectations. And with all members contributing songs to their already impressive canon, they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. GOODNIGHT LOVING's self-titled third album adds 60's girl group vocal harmonies and alt.country, while also bridging the gap between the recording styles of the preceding LPs. They make playing roots-oriented country rock with some obvious chest-beating garage influence under it, seem like an act of courage. The result is a band hitting its stride, maturing in their ability to manipulate the subtle nuances of their unique and timeless sound. It may sound weird but to anyone who likes the REIGNONG SOUND or WILCO or PALACE BROTHERS and also has an affinity to SMALL FACES, DETROIT COBRAS or the BLACK LIPS, this is your night out...
