Ratboys have shared a new single, ‘What’s Right?’, from their forthcoming album Singin’ to an Empty Chair. Following previous singles ‘Anywhere’ and ‘Light Night Mountains All That’, it comes paired with a video made by the band’s own Marcus Nucci. Check it out below.
“We approached this song like an experiment in the studio, stitching together three different drum performances, in three different-sounding environments, to guide us through some dramatic scene changes within the song,” Julia Steiner said in a statement. “We referenced the tight, yet expansive sonics of The War On Drugs and the desert landscapes of Thelma and Louise. The back half of the song came to me in a dream and remains one of the few times that I’ve had the presence of mind to record an idea immediately upon waking. Most of the lyrics and melody came out in that moment, and for that I’m still mystified and extremely grateful.”
Singin’ to an Empty Chair will be released on February 6 via New West Records. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Ratboys.
