A band that combines piercing sheets of guitar and synthesizer with drum machines. There are no vocals - just elegant music.
Ratatat have been described by critics as one of the most innovative bands around. They are a band that combines piercing sheets of guitar and synthesizer with drum machines. There are no vocals - just elegant music.
Ratatat is a collaboration between lead guitarist Mike "Snake" Stroud and bedroom producer Evan ''E*Vax" Mast, they have been making music out of an apartment in Brooklyn since 2001, their unique sound is born from a combined love of Jay-Z, The Rolling Stones, Timbaland and Beethoven.
Mike Stroud is one of New York's best guitarists and has spent his time touring the world with Ben Kweller and Dashboard Confessional. Evan Mast has been producing music as E*Vax for the past few years, releasing most of his output on Audio Dregs Records the label run by him and his brother E*Rock. Now back in their bedroom studio Ratatat have made a sing-along record, just without words. While dance music is trying to re-invent itself and rock is returning to it's roots, Ratatat seem to make a happy mess in both fields.
