Ratboys’ Julia Steiner on Loss, Acceptance, & Making Noise For the Ones You Love

Ratboys’ Julia Steiner joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band's latest album, The Window. The Louisville-raised lead singer reminisces about interning for Meredith in the early part of her career and the artists that were interviewed during that time (St. Vincent and Nada Surf come to mind) before turning the attention to teaming up with former Death Cab For Cutie member Chris Walla to help produce this new LP in Seattle, and how the album carries a certain bit of nostalgia and looking back within the lyrics. Steiner goes on to talk about the background of songs like the title track and opening number “Making Noise for the Ones You Love” and how they both deal with loss, as well as finding peace by the end of the set, and the uncharacteristic music they listened to while recording, including acts like Janet Jackson, Def Leppard, and The Roches.
