Ratboys - Black Earth, WI (2023)
From Stereogum: www.stereogum.com/2233212/…/album-of-the-week/
Ratboys rule. Ever since they got their start in Notre Dame dorm rooms 13 years ago, the now-Chicago-based band’s powers have been steadily growing, their signature strain of indie rock coming more vividly into focus. Whereas some bands arrive fully formed in a burst of inspiration but eventually lose that initial spark, others hone their craft, find their voice, and just keep getting better. In this case, the process was so gradual that they sort of snuck up on me, but here we are: Ratboys have delivered one of the absolute best albums of 2023.
