Ratboys announce new album The Window

Ratboys have announced a new album. On August 25, they’ll release The Window via Topshelf. The first new song they’ve shared from the album is “It’s Alive!” Hear it below.

Ratboys recorded The Window with producer Chris Walla (formerly of Death Cab for Cutie). “The language Chris uses when speaking about music comes from a very emotionally centered place, and that’s something that resonated with us. He would say things like, ‘This cymbal hurts my feelings,’ or ‘This song is like a cat,’” said Ratboys drummer Marcus Nuccio.

The Window follows 2020’s Printer’s Devil.
