The Future by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats
The Future is an album by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, released in 2021. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 31 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Survivor”, on 16 lists with a best position of #7.
The Future, the third album from Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, came out on Stax on November 5, 2021. Brad Cook produced it alongside R.M.B., the team of Rateliff, Patrick Meese and James Barone, with Elijah Thompson adding extra production, and the record glows: horns that sigh rather than blare, grooves that simmer instead of boil, and Rateliff's weathered, gravel-and-honey voice doing the heavy lifting.
"Survivor" is the standout, a slow-building, gritty anthem that gets bigger every time the chorus comes around, while "Face Down In The Moment" and "I'm On Your Side" lean into easy, rolling soul.
