Night Surfer is a full-length album by American singer-songwriter Chuck Prophet.[6][7] It was released in the U.S. on September 23, 2014, through Yep Roc Records.[8]
The album was recorded in San Francisco and Nashville, and mixed by Paul Q. Kolderie.[9]
AllMusic wrote: "Whether he's hitting the highway on tour in a beat-up van, harvesting weed in Mexico, or jotting down mental notes about strangers in the park, Prophet has a great eye for details, and these 12 songs are often powerfully evocative and acidly funny, short stories of a memorable life where fate often puts a twist in the tale."[1] Esquire thought that the influence of Prophet's hometown, San Francisco, "is evident in the still psychedelic but also jamming, occasionally neurotic vibe."[10] The Chicago Tribune called Night Surfer "an album that distills some of Prophet's entrancing dichotomies: It's a sloppy and refined, deeply rooted, contemporary garage-rock gem with glimmers of 1960s soul in the production, Alejandro Escovedo in the singing and the Beat poetry tradition in the writing."[11]
