“For the first record I demo-ed everything up and created most of the parts,” says Rateliff. 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. 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.”įollowing the band’s debut performance at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, 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. The music is receiving early critical acclaim-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 Billboard calls them, “The hottest vintage-sounding soul octet in the country.” Q Magazine furthers, “If anything, Tearing at the Seams more accurately captures the feel of Rateliff’s stirring live performances. The record is available for pre-order here. The track appears on the band’s highly anticipated new album, Tearing at the Seams, out March 9 on Stax Records. “You Worry Me” set Billboard’s chart record for the most Triple A radio spins ever in a single week while reaching #1 at Triple A for the fifth consecutive week and #1 at Americana radio for the sixth consecutive week.Īdditionally, the band will return to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” for the third time to perform “You Worry Me” on Monday, March 12. Tearing At The Seams will be available on March 9th.ĭirected by Brantley Gutierrez the video features Ethan Embry (Empire Records, Grace and Frankie) and Julia Jones (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, Wind River). I kid of course and “You Worry Me” is taken from the upcoming Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats album Tearing At The Seams. That’s one step away from waiting for a payphone in a rest stop. It’s such a pretty package, and so dull a result after the wrapping paper is carefully removed.Life on the road is never easy and at times it is increasingly difficult…especially if you’re reliant on a flip phone. The intro will be great bump music for some radio show or TV event coverage.Īnthony Easton: He says he leaves it all out there, but this song keeps it all in - the nostalgia, the awareness of form, the flirting without fucking, even the bellow of the voice. Rateliff’s pensive mumbling codes as “worried,” at least. And then it spoils it by putting a grey song with an even greyer vocal on top of it. It’s like Rateliff and his appallingly-named band were engineered in a lab for maximum middle-aged summer festival impact.Įdward Okulicz: Comes out of the blocks in a rather lively, catchy fashion with the bass and piano having real energy to them. Thomas Inskeep: Zac Brown Band x Dave Matthews Band = no, thank you. Katherine St Asaph: Your band name is the Night Sweats, not the Perfectly Pleasant Days on the Porch. But he could just be mumbling into his beard. That leaves the prettiest moments as the best, but there’s a long way between them.Īlfred Soto: Nathaniel Ratelifff does have a worried burr. Iain Mew: For all the giving it big on emotions and promises to “leave it all out there” it’s a curiously small sounding record, with a production which sands off all the edges into into harmless fuzz.

It doesn’t all fit together as it wants to, though - the brass feels separate from the vocals feels separate from everything else. I’m a sucker for catchy things, but sometimes riffs just hit a sweet spot that means I’m bound to listen to that song, err, thirty times in a row because I can’t stop myself - I need to envelop myself in it. We hope the low score doesn’t affect your sleep too much, guys.Īlex Clifton: Songs like this have my number from that opening riff.
