"Right Moves" comes from The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, the American singer-songwriter's fifth full-length album, which reached US shops on August 21, 2007. He made it in a Maine farmhouse that dates back to the 18th century, and ahead of release he talked it up as the most adventurous thing he'd done yet, in the words, the music and the production alike. Word got out early anyway: the album had leaked onto file-sharing sites by late July.
Ritter wrote "Right Moves" alone, words and music. Sam Kassirer produced it, Brandon Eggleston engineered and Jacquire King mixed.
