Pop pop ratatat

LP4, the new album from some of our favorite Cudi collaborators, Ratatat, is dope as expected.  Apparently they recorded this around the same time as LP3, but consider it to be a more daring approach to the arrangements...It's still got that same signature feel though, and it should only take a few bars before you're fairly convinced you know it's a Ratatat song, regardless of whether you've heard it before.  Drugs and Mandy are no exception, and are some of my favs.

Ratatat and DOM tonight

I'm going to the Ratatat show tonight at the Warfield and while I was already excited to bust some moves there, I just realized that Dom is opening. My local friends have recently accused me of being a little into what they deem 'electro' music, but I think what they mean to accuse me of is a penchant for the synth-pop chillwave movement. Hipster accusations and labels aside, Dom has a reputation for putting on a memorable live show, and with giant hooks like 'It's so sexy to be living in America' who doesn't want to put on their skinny jeans and bust some dance moves? Wish you were here Dowks!

SCREAMIN Deal on Ratatat's new album

My buddy Grantus just pointed me to Amazon where they're having a $4 special on Ratatat's new album, LP4.  I am downloading it now, and will have thoughts later this week.

For now, enjoy this vid from their self-titled debut album, Ratatat...
