Chicago band Ratboys are set to release their fourth studio album, produced by Chris Walla “The Window”, on August 25th. The band have already shared early single’s “Black Earth, WI” and “It’s Alive!,” and now Ratboys are back with the album’s poignant title track, plus a video directed by John TerEick. “I wrote this song a few days after the death of my grandma in June 2020,” says Ratboys’ Julia Steiner. “She didn’t have COVID, but because of the pandemic my grandpa wasn’t able to visit her in person at the nursing home to say goodbye. He ended up standing outside her room and saying goodbye through an open window. A lot of the lyrics are direct quotes of things he said to her in those final moments.”
“The Window” is coming out on August 25th on Topshelf Records we recorded this album with our hero Chris Walla out in Seattle last year, and it was an absolutely life-changing experience for the four of us. honestly it was everything we ever dreamed that making a record could be!!!
“The Window” will be out 25th August via Topshelf Records.
