Chicago's Ratboys recorded their 2026 album at a cabin in Wisconsin’s Driftless Area with producer Chris Walla, who emphasized emotional impact over music theory. Capturing analog live takes under the cabin’s naturally high ceilings, this batch of tunes is clunker-free. About as good as indie rock can get. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Here it is on Opaque Green with signatures from the band on New West Records.
