Chicago indie rockers Ratboys have shared a new song, “Light Night Mountains All That,” and announced some new tour dates. They have also announced that they have signed to a new label, New West. Check out the single and tour dates below.

Ratboys is singer/guitarist Julia Steiner, guitarist Dave Sagan, drummer Marcus Nuccio, and bassist Sean Neumann. The song also features piano by its co-producer Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Tegan and Sara, Foxing).

“My original idea was to write an ultra-high energy folk song, in the style of The Dodos’ Visiter, with somewhat spooky, mysterious, and pastoral lyrics—like what Chris Otepka of The Heligoats might conjure up on a mushroom trip,” says Steiner in a press release. “This song really took shape during our initial writing session up at the Driftless Cabin in Wisconsin last March; the guys and I nearly went insane fleshing out the arrangement and its odd timings together. I wrote the lyrics during that original demoing trip, centered around the idea of a fantastic, rural vision-quest where the days and nights blend together and nothing is quite as it seems.”

Nuccio directed the song’s video. Steiner had this to say about it: “We used a bunch of DV cameras to convene with some benevolent rock and roll ghosts we met along the way.”

Ratboys’ last album, The Window, was #1 on our Top 100 Albums of 2023 list. Read our interview with Ratboys on The Window here and read our rave review of the album here.
