Ratboys Share ‘Light Night Mountains All That’ As They Announce A Big 2026 Tour

It’s a new era for Ratboys, as the band just signed a fresh label deal with New West Records. They’ve also just returned with their first new music since their 2023 album The Window: Today (September 23), they released “Light Night Mountains All That,” a new single.

The band’s Julia Steiner says of the song:

“My original idea was to write an ultra-high energy folk song, in the style of The Dodos’ Visiter, with somewhat spooky, mysterious, and pastoral lyrics — like what Chris Otepka of The Heligoats might conjure up on a mushroom trip. This song really took shape during our initial writing session up at the Driftless Cabin in Wisconsin last March; the guys and I nearly went insane fleshing out the arrangement and its odd timings together. I wrote the lyrics during that original demoing trip, centered around the idea of a fantastic, rural vision-quest where the days and nights blend together and nothing is quite as it seems.”

The song arrives alongside a video directed by the group’s Marcus Nuccio and filmed at a farm in Illinois. Steiner says, “We used a bunch of DV cameras to convene with some benevolent rock and roll ghosts we met along the way.”
