Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats are back to announce their fourth studio album, South of Here, due out on June 28th. The group has also shared the album’s first single, “Heartless.”
South of Here is the soul group’s first album since 2021’s The Future. It was recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas and produced by Brad Cook, who also produced the group’s previous album. In a statement, Rateliff praised Cook’s work behind the boards, and shared how his writing deepened when crafting the songs for South of Here: “Brad was a great producer to write alongside. This album is a look into my own struggle with anxiety, insecurity and also stories of my life. He encouraged me to take responsibility for my own narrative in the songs and to write about what’s happening in my own life,” he said.

Rateliff continued, saying “These recordings were done together in a room with my closest friends. I hope these songs and stories give you an opportunity to better understand your own struggles whatever they may be.” Lead single “Heartless” seems to epitomize the more personal direction that South of Here will take. “It was so cold leaving the comfort of my Missouri home/ And my childhood left me so broken man that I didn’t know,” Rateliff sings in the second verse. 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. Stream “Heartless” below.
Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats will be supporting South of Here with a co-headlining tour alongside My Morning Jacket set for this fall. Dubbed the “Eye to Eye Tour,” the co-headlining run kicks off on September 10th with a date in Wilmington, North Carolina. Meanwhile, in addition to headlining this year’s Park City Summit and a lone pair of dates with Tyler Childers in the Pacific Northwest, the group will also play several festivals and headlining shows in Europe this summer.
