RATATAT “Classics” LP

“Classics” remains resolutely instrumental, but the band has introduced a wealth of new sounds, from acoustic and slide guitar to sleigh bells and cello. Their vastly improved production and writing makes this record a refinement of their art. “Ratatat lay squealing metal harmonies over choppy Neptunesstyle dance thumps, then break into pastoral waves of keyboard tone, riding dub tempos and hip-hop struts. They’re crotch-pumping arena pimps and introverted minimalists…” - Blender. Check out some tunes on their myspace page.
