ratatat: lp3

When I first heard Ratatat’s debut album four years ago, I thought it was one of the most original sounding records at the time. On the other hand, I find myself bored and let down by a sound that I once loved when Classics came out in 2006. So with a not so optimistic mindset, I listened to the duo’s third studio full-length, LP3... and boy, I was in for a surprise! LP3 still very much consists that signature Ratatat style; but this time, the duo experimented with more effects and different instruments. As a result, LP3 has more depth and it (thankfully!) sounds more diverse. I am really enjoying Ratatat's new record at the moment and it totally made up for my disappointment in Classics!

exclusive: classics

I am ecstatic!!! ...Ratatat’s new album, Classics has been leaked. If you are not familiar with Ratatat, they make awesome dancy instrumental rock/electronic songs. Their self-titled release was one of my favorite records of 2004. I have uploaded six songs from Classics, if you want the rest, leave a message in the comments section and I'll see what I can do.
