A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Ratatat

  • James Kendi

Ethereal rock-tronica duo Ratatat was forged in 2001 out of a common disinterest between guitarist Mike Stroud and multi-instrumentalist/producer Evan Mast: They’re both bored by music with lyrics. The laid-back, upbeat pop-electronic outfit effortlessly cranks out imaginative hip-hop remixes and original songs with persistent beats, odd sound effects, and spacey guitar riffs. Having recently contributed to Kid Cudi's debut album, the duo is currently putting the finishing touches on its fourth long-player, the aptly named LP4.
