![]() “Is the future open / Is the future seeeeeeeeen.” Like Dylan’s layered lyrics of chaos and foreboding, Rateliff peppers the canvas with images of nameless/faceless forces intent on coming “to steal and divide.” The album wastes no time, jumping into an analysis of “The Future” that is practically Dylanesque and not just because Rateliff stretches out the vowels in the opening questions. “I just continue to try to write from a place of hope.” “When I was writing the record, we were in the middle of a pandemic, and our future looked pretty bleak.” Rateliff proclaimed. ![]() The Future responds to that question and grapples with the issues brought into relief over the past years. In press accompanying the album release, Rateliff stated that he found writing and reflecting in 2020 to be a time of wrestling with what it meant to embody his whole self with his band. The new album expands on their musical styles without abandoning their roots and is also a thematic wrestling with the spirits of our times. On their latest release for Stax Records, The Future, there is an insistence that this boozy, bacchanal style is merely one facet of their musical range and lyrical depth. The loose electricity of the Night Sweats hints that the wheels could come off at any time, but everything will be alright as long as the music keeps playing and the drinks keep flowing. This aesthetic is turbo-charged by Rateliff’s Joe Cocker-like ability to emote songs with a vocal register that oozes intensity without transgressing the boundary into screaming.
