Singin' to an Empty Chair by Ratboys

Ratboys hail from Chicago, IL and make alt-country infused indie rock, with a touch of pop punk and emo to round off their sound. Their last album, The Window, ended up at #26 on my 2023 favorite album list. Singin’ to an Empty Chair is even better…quite possibly a top 10 album for this year.

Stereogum has a great interview with the band as they break down each song.
