Ratatat — LP3

Ratatat's LP3 is a very logical follow up to 2006's Classics, which is a super thing if you're a fan of the electro duo's style, but somewhat disappointing if you were expecting any new sonic leaps.

Guitar guru Mike Stroud and synthesizer wizard Evan Mast, the New York-based earthy electronic duo behind Ratatat, recently released their new record, Classics.
