(September 23, 2025) - Chicago’s Ratboys present a momentous new single/video, “Light Night Mountains All That,” their first-ever release on their new label New West Records. In conjunction, they announce a North American tour. This is the band’s first new music since The Window, one of the most praised records of 2023. The Window catapulted the band from being beloved to “feverishly fixated upon” (Stereogum), and “Light Night Mountains All That” seizes that attention and doesn’t let it look away.

“Light Night Mountains All That” is singer/guitarist Julia Steiner’s most thrilling vocal take yet, bolstered by a powerhouse performance by guitarist Dave Sagan, drummer Marcus Nuccio, bassist Sean Neumann, and piano by track co-producer Chris Walla. The track, deemed their “wormhole jam” by Steiner, is driven by an unorthodox time structure, exhilarating instrumentation, and the flare of extraterrestrial guitar bloops. “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. “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.”

The accompanying video, directed by Nuccio, was filmed at a sprawling farm in Central Illinois. “We used a bunch of DV cameras to convene with some benevolent rock and roll ghosts we met along the way,” says Steiner.

The Window received a wealth of critical praise from the likes of The New York Times, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, and Uproxx, while Pitchfork called it "a level-up record" for the band. Surrounding its release, Ratboys made their national television debut on CBS Saturday Morning, taped a performance for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic Series, recorded their first-ever KEXP session, and played sold-out shows throughout the country.

In early 2026, Ratboys will perform across North America. As Paste praises, Ratboys have “a live chemistry that remains unparalleled and irreplaceable.” It’s one not to be missed. A full list of tour dates and ticket information is now available here: http://t.cn/AXzSdsif http://t.cn/AXzSgU5o
