INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT  NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD.

Ratatat

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of most straight electronic music. Still, every now and then a band is able to find an elegant blend of electronic’s repetitive cadence and rock or hip-hop’s eclectic dynamics. Always finding a way to wonderfully blend them both is Ratatat. Be it slower more methodical songs like Loud Pipes or the hyper disco influenced Shempi, they manage to churn out a diverse mix of sounds from song to song without getting stale. There aren’t a ton of bands in this genre that have been able to capture my attention quite as well as they have. For the past 14 years, this duo (Mike Stroud and Even Mast) have knocked out five albums and toured with bands like Daft Punk, Bjork and Super Furry Animals. You will probably find yourself adding them to every playlist you make from now on.
