Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats today release their highly anticipated fourth studio album South of Here via Stax—listen/purchase HERE.

The record, produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver, Kevin Morby) seamlessly blends both sides of Rateliff’s immense talent: emotionally potent, vivid storytelling and the rugged, R&B revivalism that has powered the band to world-wide acclaim over the past decade.

The band performed the album’s lead single “Heartless” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on June 13, watch HERE. The song is #1 at Americana Radio for the fifth consecutive week and continuing to climb, hitting #2 on Triple A Charts. A new video for “Heartless” directed by award winning director Kimberly Stuckwisch is also out now—watch here.

The album’s most recent single, “Get Used to the Night”, a moving tribute to his late friend and collaborator Richard Swift, was praised by RIFF, who celebrated its “sumptuous Van-Morrison-style grooves with liquid horns.” The second single “David and Goliath” was lauded by Louder, describing “This 21st century americana star bares his soul to stunning effect on this latest track – all moody Beatles-y sensibilities with a soulful lift, articulating the internal fights so many of us face.”

Recorded at Sonic Ranch outside El Paso, Texas, South of Here reckons with a lifetime of pain and trauma and transforms it into a stirring, soul-baring rumination on love, loss, hope and resolve.

Over the course of his career, Nathaniel Rateliff has generated widespread acclaim from critics and musicians alike. Robert Plant recently placed him among the next generation of greats. “He is one of these guys that will just carry the torch. Beautiful songwriting, beautiful singing, great delivery and he is a magnificent guy to go with it.”

The band has also announced their biggest US tour to date, a brand-new series of headlining U.S. arena shows, including performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and a landmark show at Madison Square Garden.

Rateliff’s undeniable stage presence has fueled his steady ascent since breaking through the Denver D.I.Y. scene. Onstage recently, Zach Bryan said, “One time I drove 11 hours to see Nathaniel Rateliff play at Red Rocks.” Noah Kahan called sharing the stage with Rateliff “such an honor.” He furthers, “His music has helped me through a lot of tough moments in my life. This is one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard. He’s such a sweet guy and just a brilliant talent.” Additional collaborations include Paul Simon at Newport and Willie Nelson at the Hollywood Bowl. Most recently, Rateliff wrote and performed a duet with Orville Peck on Peck’s new album, Stampede Vol. 1.

Borne from the rock clubs in and around Denver, CO., Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have released three LPs, two EPs, and a live album. Since their 2015 self-titled breakthrough album, the band has established themselves as generational talents through their ecstatic and dynamic live performances and a growing catalog of essential studio recordings. South of Here is another mighty leap forward. Bound by the struggle for identity and the search for belonging, it reverberates with the understanding that we’re all in this beautiful mess together.
