I’ll get it out of the way and say that I’m not the biggest fan of instrumental music (read: music without lyrics). Ratatat falls almost squarely into that category with their electronic-instrumental mixes (and the occasional lyrical track thrown in), but with one exception - just about everyting I’ve heard from them is well-produced, crisp, and really, truly sonically stimulating.
They’ve got a new album coming out at the end of the month called LP3 that Dillon turned me on to, and by the wonders of the Internet, the whole thing has already leaked and I can say that it’s another good one. Stand out tracks for me are Mirando, Imperials, and Shempi which you can check out above.
wow - great blog! And love this song. Thanks!
