Description:

Ratboys have been recording and releasing music for over a decade, but their newest album, The Window, marks the first time theyâ??d ever traveled outside their home base of Chicago to make a record, journeying to the Hall of Justice Recording Studio in Seattle to work with producer Chris Walla. The sessions with Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Tegan and Sara, Foxing) struck the perfect balance between preparation and experimentation, injecting new life into the bandâ??s style of soft-hearted Midwestern indie rock with an ever so subtle Americana twist. The solidified Ratboys lineup stretched and expanded their vision in the studio, adding unexpected elements and instruments like rototoms, talkboxes, and fiddles. The result is Ratboysâ?? most sonically diverse record, shifting wildly from track to track. It flexes everything from fuzzy power pop choruses on â??Crossed That Lineâ? and â??Itâ??s Alive!â? to a warm country twang on â??Morning Zooâ? to mournful folk on the titular track. After more than ten years and four studio albums, The Window finally captures Ratboys as they were always meant to be heardâ??expansive while still intimate, audacious while still tenderâ??the sound of four friends operating as a single, cohesive unit. -

"The Window" is the acclaimed LP by Ratboys, released via Topshelf Records. This album showcases the band's signature blend of indie rock and heartfelt storytelling, featuring dynamic guitar work and evocative lyrics that explore themes of growth, nostalgia, and hope. With tracks like "It's Alive!" and "Morning Zoo," Ratboys continue to push their sound forward while staying true to their roots. Formed in Chicago in 2010 by Julia Steiner and Dave Sagan, Ratboys have steadily built a devoted following through relentless touring and critically praised releases such as "GN" (2017) and "Printer's Devil" (2020). Their music has been celebrated for its emotional depth and melodic richness.
