Jan 29, 2016Night Fiction does feel like a fully realized reflection of its creator’s mercurial disposition.

Jan 28, 2016Nugent may not distinguish himself from his influences on Night Vision, but, like fellow guitar slinger Ryley Walker, he couldn't care less. He's only interested in playing the music he likes and growing from what he learns in doing so. In the process, we get a killer rock & roll album.

UncutJan 28, 2016Night Fiction emerges as an engaging sampler of his range as well as his virtuosity. [Feb 2016, p.78]

Jan 29, 2016The recordings have a live and dirty feel to them, which makes them endearing and easy to cosy up to on the phonograph, even if the songwriting doesn’t always warrant a close headphone listen.
