Barcode: 634457134331

Ratboys have been recording and releasing music for over a decade, but their newest album, The Window, marks the first time theyd 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 bands 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 Ratboys most sonically diverse record, shifting wildly from track to track. It flexes everything from fuzzy power pop choruses on Crossed That Line and Its Alive! to a warm country twang on Morning Zoo 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 heardexpansive while still intimate, audacious while still tenderthe sound of four friends operating as a single, cohesive unit.
