Cian Nugent should have started singing on his records sooner. Night Fiction will be Nugent’s third album and the first to feature his vocals — his previous records were all instrumental, guitar-based endeavors — and is his first foray into that of singer-songwriter. Nugent’s first track from the album, “Things Don’t Change That Fast,” is a classic lo-fi number that sounds like a Kurt Vile approach to a Velvet Underground song, and the soft guitars and relaxed melodies make for a chilled listen. “I’m only in it for the weekend,” Nugent sings across the track, his deadbeat vocals reverberating even a Mac deMarco-esque aura. Night Fiction will be out in January.

Tracklist:
01 “Lost Your Way”
02 “First Run”
03 “Shadows”
04 “Lucy”
05 “Things Don’t Change That Fast”
06 “Nightlife”
07 “Year Of The Snake”

Night Fiction will be released 1/20/16 on Woodsist.
