On their sixth album, Singin' To An Empty Chair, Chicago's Ratboys expand their dynamic sound, weaving together bubbly power-pop, post-country influences, and heart-piercing ballads. Frontwoman Julia Steiner brings newfound clarity and emotional depth to her songwriting, exploring relationship complexities with honesty and nuance shaped by recent personal growth.
Produced by Chris Walla and released by New West Records, Singin' To An Empty Chair showcases Ratboys at their most ambitious, from sprawling, shapeshifting suites to an exhilarating "wormhole jam" that pushes boundaries. The album finds its voice in the unvarnished middle ground of life—where introspection yields bracing insight—and delivers a soundtrack perfectly suited for reflective road trips and restless nights alike.
