WUT RATATAT? Absurdly awesome.

Ratatat returns this summer with their apocalyptic rock sound via “LP4″. A collection of tunes that were written and recorded at the same time as LP3, so there is already a precedent set that these are just a collection of B-sides that didn’t make the cut for LP3. With that in mind there is still a lot of that jungley/tribal vibe sprinkled throughout this record. “Neckbrace” embraces the closest thing to vocals you will have on a Ratatat tune, a gutteral sampled and chopped sort of beatbox bassline a la Rahzel on Bjork’s album “Medulla”.

<3 Ratatat but I want bigger and more \m/ guitars

Ratatat – MirandoLP3 is definitely going to be a different and interesting sound for Ratatat. I am getting this epic, spacey, Ennio Morricone vibe from their new stuff. I can’t wait to hear the rest.

Ratatat seems to enjoy exclusively remixing Scandinavian artists, The Knife (Sweden), Shout Out Louds (Sweden), and now the one and only Björk (Iceland). I’m waiting for Ratatat to conquer the Franks.
Björk – Wanderlust (Ratatat Remix)

How Ratatat make their ill beats.
My favorite Ratatat track, the harmonized gutiar and organ is so metal. It is also Thomas Bangalter’s favorite track by them which is why he spun it at the Louis Vuitton fashion show.
Ratatat – Lex

This Ratatat track reminds me of Neu!’s Michael Rother’s solo music meets The Fucking Champs.Ratatat – Germany To Germany

Dr. Dre is finishing up his “final” album, Detox and is planning to release it June 2008. He apparently spent 72 hours straight making beats. He is now working on the new Eminem and plans to lift weights, make beats, and spend time with his family. OG.

Simian Mobile Disco’s new Vid for “Hustler”, it is MSTRKRFT’s Easy Love meets Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker. Sexy.
