Critical acclaim for Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats:

★★★1/2

"The band’s fourth album, South of Here, levels up the Rateliff’s Denver collective to arenas, so it comes as a delightful surprise that the album is also the most intimate offering from the group to date. Rateliff rhapsodizes about youthful wandering, middle-aged loss, and lifelong searching for connection and meaning with his gentle rasp that sounds more nimble and inventive than ever."

"South of Here is the most fully formed and emotionally dynamic statement from Rateliff and the Night Sweats, a collection of warm reflections and meditations that aren’t bashful about wearing their influences on their sleeve."—Rolling Stone

"Rateliffe's R&B/Americana octet continue the songwriter's journey of radical authenticity, inviting listeners to see themselves in the songs. South of Here is another classic Night Sweats album, filled with vivid storytelling and moving musicianship, as the band continue to forge an ongoing relationship with others."—Exclaim

“‘Heartless’ pours over with heart, testifying to Rateliff’s mastery of reflecting the knotty wholeness of life through personal narrative and sonic storytelling”—Relix

“His sense of personal authenticity combined with his volcanic energy and gentle lyrical touch are being discovered by pleased audiences. The result is a mixture of propellant tracks and gentle ones. There are songs about how time makes fools of all people, the difficulties of day-to-day life, the worry over whether or not you’re a good person, and healing.”—American Songwriter

"There are two different Nathaniel Rateliffs. One is a powerhouse singer who leads the gritty rock ‘n’ soul styling of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. The other is an introspective singer-songwriter who in recent years has helmed tributes to Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen. On his new LP with the Night Sweats, South of Here, Rateliff brings these divergent musical personas together to create an album unlike any other in his discography.”—No Depression

“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."—Consequence

 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.

The album’s most recent single, “Get Used to the Night”, a moving tribute to his late friend and collaborator Richard Swift, was praised by RIFF, who celebrated its “sumptuous Van-Morrison-style grooves with liquid horns.” The second single “David and Goliath” was lauded by Louder, describing “This 21st century americana star bares his soul to stunning effect on this latest track – all moody Beatles-y sensibilities with a soulful lift, articulating the internal fights so many of us face.”

Borne from the rock clubs in and around Denver, CO., Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have released three LPs, two EPs, and a live album. Since their 2015 self-titled breakthrough album, the band has established themselves as generational talents through their ecstatic and dynamic live performances and a growing catalog of essential studio recordings. South of Here is another mighty leap forward. Bound by the struggle for identity and the search for belonging, it reverberates with the understanding that we’re all in this beautiful mess together.
