The album was recorded in Prophet’s hometown of [[San Francisco]] at Decibelle Recording Studio and in Nashville at Alex the Great with noted producer[[ Brad Jones]] and was mixed in upstate New York by [[Paul Q. Kolderie]]. Of the album, Prophet comments, “This record is loosely conceptual but universal all the same. It’s all about a path forward, about looking around and imagining where we’ll be in 20 years if we just follow that path. And of course, you’ll find a persistent anxiety throughout; we live, after all, in anxious times. As John Murry told me after a first listen, ‘It brings a tear to the eye and blood to the johnson.’” So yeah, a new record, new sound. It’s got it’s own groove with in your face guitars that snake and harmonize. They jangle too, thanks in no small part to special guest [[Peter Buck]].”

Critical reception

[edit]

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]
