NEW ALBUM TEARING AT THE SEAMS OUT MARCH 9^th
ON STAX RECORDS

TOUR DATES IN TORONTO AND MONTREAL

Toronto, ON – February 23, 2018 – Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ new track, Coolin’ Out, premieres today — listen to the song here. Coolin’ Out appears on the band’s highly anticipated new album, Tearing at the Seams, out March 9^th, 2018 on Stax Records. The record is available for pre-order here.

Coolin’ Out follows the release of Hey Mama and lead single You Worry Me. For the third consecutive week, You Worry Me is the #1 track at Triple A and Americana radio.  This week, the song also set a Billboard chart record for the most single week spins ever at Triple A radio.

The music is receiving early critical acclaim as well—Rolling Stone declares, “The first single from his forthcoming LP adds Southern-rock bite and weary longing to make for his most urgent song yet,” while Q Magazine adds, “If anything, Tearing at the Seams more accurately captures the feel of Rateliff’s stirring live performances. There’s a looseness and sense of fun here, perhaps because for the first time the songs were written in the company of his band.” UNCUT asserts, “The Night Sweats are even more commanding on the follow-up, deepening Rateliff’s vision of ‘a Sam & Dave-meets-The Band combo.’”

Following two explosive nights at Los Angeles’ Troubadour, the band will tour North America this spring, with stops at New York’s historic Apollo Theatre and Los Angeles’ Greek Theater as well as two dates at Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Tickets are on sale now at nathanielrateliff.com. See below for complete details.

Initial writing and recording sessions for Tearing at the Seams took place in Rodeo, New Mexico where Rateliff & The Night Sweats re-established their dynamic off the stage and in the studio. “For the first record I demo-ed everything up and created most of the parts,” says Rateliff. “This time, I felt like we’ve all spent so much time on the road that we should all go off somewhere. We should all have that experience together.” The band finished recording with producer Richard Swift—who has helmed records for The Shins and Foxygen, in addition to The Night Sweats’ debut—collectively creating a group of songs that capture the band’s emotion and intensity.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are: Rateliff (vocals, guitar), Joseph Pope III (bass), Patrick Meese (drums), Luke Mossman (guitar), Mark Shusterman (keys), Andy Wild (saxophone), Scott Frock (trumpet), and Jeff Dazey (saxophone).
