- Description: Despite it's title, Ratboys' new album Singin' to an Empty Chair is not defined by what's missing. Rather, it's the beginning of an important dialogue with a close loved one, vocalist Julia Steiner finds herself estranged from. The music on the band's sixth studio album - it's first for New West Records - fills the space that person left behind with 11 songs showcasing Ratboys at the peak of their powers - twangy, effervescent, as confident as they've ever been, and perhaps more emotionally interrogative than ever before. The four-piece Chicago band followed up 2023's highly acclaimed The Window by reconvening with co-producer Chris Walla to begin tracking at a rural Wisconsin cabin before taking the songs to Steve Albini's famed Electrical Audio studios in Chicago and later to Rosebud Studio in Evanston, Illinois. The results veer from bubbly power-pop on InchAnywhereInch to irresistible post-country on InchPenny in the Lake,Inch along with heart-piercing ballads like InchJust Want You to Know the TruthInch and an exhilarating detour into the extraterrestrial on InchLight Night Mountains All That,Inch which Steiner dubs the band's mammoth Inchwormhole jam.Inch Singin' to an Empty Chair also marks the first Ratboys album written since Steiner began therapy, which the singer/lyricist credits for the clarity found across the album's unflinching examinations of relationship and self. Fittingly, as the album begins by extending a hand into the void, it concludes with a scene of serenity - all while weaving candid honesty, humor, chaos, and whimsy along the way. InchIt's not all doom and gloom,Inch Steiner says. InchThe experience of making this record definitely gives me hope for whatever happens next.Inch Album Tracks 1. Open Up 2. Know You Then 3. Light Night Mountains All That 4. Anywhere 5. Penny in the Lake 6. Strange Love 7. World, So Madly 8. Ju

In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist with inimitable musicianship, Barnett first found critical acclaim with 2013's The Double EP A Sea of Split Peas and broke into the mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, the album stands as a generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017's Lotta Sea Lice, an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and eschewed the vignettes of her early records on 2018's Tell Me How You Really Feel, her humid, political sophomore record. In 2021, she released Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward. On March 27th, 2026 Courtney will her 4th studio album, Creature of Habit. Album Tracks 1. Stay in Your Lane 2. Wonder 3. Site Unseen (Feat. Waxahatchee) 4. Mostly Patient 5. One Thing at a Time 6. Mantis 7. Sugar Plum 8. Same 9. Great Advice 10. Another Beautiful Day
