Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
It took Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats less than five years to become one of the most recognisable new forces in contemporary rock ‘n’ roll. Since 2015, Rateliff has led this denim-clad, horn-flanked Night Sweats, supplying the zeal of a whiskey-chugging Pentecostal preacher to songs about the world’s shared woes.

When Rateliff returned from his pandemic-truncated solo tour in March 2020, he struggled with the same question that vexed us all – what now?

Fortunately, he returned to his Colorado homestead and penned a set of songs that synthesized his introspection with his anthemic inclinations. The result is The Future, the third Night Sweats album but the first to capture this octet’s true depth and breadth.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones
A fever dream in sonic form, St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ new album,The Alien Coast, represents the most adventurous and original output yet from an ever-evolving musical powerhouse.

In a profound shift, the band’s fourth full-length record strays far from the time-bending soul of the past work like their 2014 debut, arriving at a convergence of rock & roll, R&B, psychedelia, and funk. At turns explosive, elegant, and unhinged, that sound makes for a majestic backdrop to St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ visceral exploration of the strangest dimensions of the human psyche.
