Read our interview with the Ratboys at The window here and read our rave review of the album here.
The Ratboys—consisting of members Julia Steiner (guitar, vocals), Dave Sagan (guitar), Marcus Nuccio (drums), and Sean Neumann (bass)—ventured to Seattle to work with producer Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Tegan and Sara , Foxing) during construction The window. The album was almost fully created before going into the studio, but Walla pushed the band to expand its vision, adding unexpected instruments like rototoms, talkboxes and fiddles.
Ratboys previously shared various singles from the album: “It's Alive” (which was #1 on our Song of the Week list), “Black Earth, WI” (which was also on our Song of the Week list) , “The Window” (also one of the songs of the week), and “Morning Zoo” (again a Songs of the week choose).
