Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have debuted the video for their latest single, “Love Don’t.”
Shot by Rett Rogers with additional videography from Brendan Young and Will Gardener, the collage of footage was captured on tour throughout Europe and North America from 2018-2021.
“Love Don’t” is the latest song to be revealed from the band’s third studio album, The Future, set for release on November 5 via Stax Records.
In conjunction with today’s release, the band confirms a pair of headline shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre on November 4 and 5. Additional 2022 dates are set to be announced soon.
Following its release in August, the band’s knockout single “Survivor” moved quickly into the No.1 slot at Triple A and debuted Top 30 on the Alternative Chart. The song is also No.2 on the Americana Singles Chart while The Future remains No.1 on the Non-Comm Albums Chart for the fourth consecutive week.
The new music caps off a run of career milestones for Rateliff and the band, including a debut on Saturday Night Live featuring the premiere performance of “Redemption,” written and featured in the film Palmer starring Justin Timberlake, as well as an appearance on “CMT Crossroads” with country singer/songwriter Margo Price. Rateliff’s “Tiny Desk (Home) Concert” recently premiered at NPR Music, as well.
For The Future, Rateliff and The Night Sweats escaped to his new Colorado studio to write an album’s worth of songs, shedding light on their unique observations and songwriting reflecting on our current times. While recognizable, the new work has evolved and pushes the band to a new level.
“I look at the album overall as a big question,” notes Rateliff. “When I was writing the record we were in the middle of a pandemic and our future looked pretty bleak. I just continue to try to write from a place of hope. Then my own neurosis, and maybe being a libra gets in the way, and I can’t make up my mind. There is this constant back and forth battle in me personally and I am sure that comes out in my writing.”
Recorded at Rateliff’s own Broken Creek Studio outside of Denver, The Future was produced by Bradley Cook (Bon Iver, Kevin Morby, The War on Drugs) and R.M.B.—the production trio of Rateliff, Patrick Meese (The Night Sweats) and James Barone (Beach House)—who were the team behind Rateliff’s acclaimed 2020 solo album And It’s Still Alright.
