Ever get that feeling where you’re trying to explain something, you can’t get it right and it becomes so overwhelming you just clinch your fists and give up? Well, that’s almost where I’m at in regards to these two new Ratatat records from their upcoming album, LP4.
They’re just too much to handle.
For one, the New York-based duo happen to be playing at least 30 instruments between “Bare Feast” and “Drugs.” And they’re all perfect, mind-boggling compliments to each other. They’re so well put together, Bob Vila was the engineer and Frank Lloyd Wright oversaw the recording session. And, the Dos Equis guy just sat in the studio; soaking up the living, breathing soundscapes of rock and hip-hop concoctions that could fit in from Egypt to Iceland and anywhere in between.
But, that’s still not doing them justice. No words could, really. That’s why you listen & enjoy first. Then, pre-order before LP4 drops June 8.
Just take our word for it.

XO These Dudes are the shit!
RATATAT is cool and all, but where’s the “Cosmogramma” write-up.
these dudes are beyond ill.
what fuzz said…
@fuzz……linkage…please and thank u. despite what u may think…we do miss some things
I consider the two times I have seen Ratatat live to be the two best live performances I have seen. And I went to the glow in the dark tour.
I was just wonderin’ is all, seein’ if you guys were on that type of ish or not. I appreciate all the alternative music you guys cover for the most part, even if it is a little behind. With so much music out there it’s great to see my favorite hip hop blog post things like Ratatat, etc.
Harlem on that new ish, walkin like a golfah
LP4 is the shit man for real
only Classics beats it from them.
I HAVE TO SEE THEM AGAIN NOW!!!
These guys are so fucking dope. I don’t know why more rappers don’t get them to produce songs. They absolutely kill it.

On behalf of the internets, I would like to formally say “Fuck off” to Web Sheriff. You are trying to build a sandcastle a few feet from the tides- it will never be permanent no matter how many lawsuits you file or threats you make.
LOL! UH OH! SOMEBODY CALLED THE LAW UP IN THIS BITCH
