In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of their 2015 self-titled debut album, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats jas confirmed a reissue of the record with an additional album’s worth of demo recordings. The reissue is set for release October 10—preorder/presave here. In advance of the release, “A Little More Too (Demo)” is out now. Listen below.
On the eleven new demos added to the project, Rateliff shares, “The journey of a song has to start somewhere. Songs can be ideas that sit for years. Sometimes they are hiding from within, and it is up to us to become available, to welcome their melodic birth. Here are eleven unheard ideas that started in my attic a little over ten years ago. I had one mic, a two-channel interface, a two-channel preamp, and my laptop. I used those tools just well enough at the time to capture ideas in the moment they arrived. The process of recording these demos came as such a surprise and lead to making one of my most treasured friendships. I thought I was going to make the last record of my career. Instead, it was the start of a new life.”
The reissue comes following the announcement of a new run of U.S. tour dates and festival appearances for the band this fall, including stops in San Diego, Kansas City and performances at Farm Aid, Outlaw Music Festival, and more. Additionally, Rateliff will accompany Mumford & Sons solo for select dates on their ‘Mumford & Sons And Friends Tour.’ Tickets for the new dates are available now. Full details and list of dates can be found below and here.
Rateliff and band were just nominated at the 2025 Americana Awards for Album of the Year for their fourth full-length studio album album South of Here, out now via Stax, as well as Song of the Year for “Heartless.” South of Here saw two #1s: “Heartless” and “Call Me (Whatever You Like)” topping the Adult Alternative Chart, marking their 7th and 8th #1s to date.
