Ratboys

Ratboys present a momentous new single, “Light Night Mountains All That,” and announce a North American tour.

This is the band’s first new music, and their first with New West Records, since The Window, one of the most-praised albums of 2023. The Window catapulted the band from being beloved to “feverishly fixated upon” (Stereogum), and “Light Night Mountains All That” seizes that attention and doesn’t let it look away. The Window received a wealth of critical praise from the likes of The New York Times, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, and Uproxx, while Pitchfork called it “a level-up record” for the band. “Light Night Mountains All That” is singer/guitarist Julia Steiner’s most thrilling vocal take yet, bolstered by a powerhouse performance by guitarist Dave Sagan, drummer Marcus Nuccio, bassist Sean Neumann, and piano by track co-producer Chris Walla. The track, deemed their “wormhole jam” by Steiner, is driven by an unorthodox time structure, exhilarating instrumentation, and the flare of extraterrestrial guitar bloops.

In early 2026, Ratboys will perform across North America. As Paste praises, Ratboys have “a live chemistry that remains unparalleled and irreplaceable.”
