lp3 - john
By now you have heard that Ratatat has a new one out called LP3 coming out tomorrow. It is interesting because on this album they manage to not just play Seventeen Years over and over again with slight variations. This one is fresh. The band has remained relevant over the years thanks to their amazing remix albums, which lay their tunes under some of the dirrrtiest of the dirty south rap etc. This is a nice return to jamz that don't bank on ironic rap to carry the weight for the them.
Their new release is full of character, musical arches, and futuristic dance tracks are practically begging for DJs to lay their own Ludacris or Bun B verses over to make the next internet mashup sensation. LP3 has all the riffs that you know and love from Ratatat but within their existing sound and structure they manage to do something different. Check it:
