Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats release epic new song

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats unveil epic new track, Get Used to the Night today. The song is the third single off their fourth studio album South of Here. With “Get Used to the Night”, Rateliff shares a moving tribute to his late friend and collaborator Richard Swift. “You run ahead and I’ll catch up to you / Still so much left for me to do,” he sings with tender resignation. A masterful vocal performance from Rateliff is coupled with a rich, stirring brass arrangement from The Night Sweats.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

The band will perform the album’s lead single “Heartless” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on June 13. “Heartless” continues to climb the charts; the song is #1 at Americana Radio for the third week and is trending Top 5 on Triple A Charts. Relix writes, ‘”Heartless” pours over with heart, testifying to Rateliff’s mastery of reflecting the knotty wholeness of life through personal narrative and sonic storytelling,” while Consequence notes, “Though there are tales of anguish and doubt in “Heartless,” the harmonies around Rateliff from the Night Sweats offer support and a light in the dark.”

The new track follows the announcement of a brand-new series of headlining U.S. arena dates, their largest tour to date, including performances in Austin at the Moody Center, Chicago’s United Center, St. Paul’s Excel Center and a landmark show at Madison Square Garden.

Produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver, Kevin Morby) and 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. “This album is a look into my own struggle with anxiety, insecurity and also stories of my life,” says Rateliff. “I hope these songs and stories give you an opportunity to better understand your own struggles whatever they may be.”
