Ratatat: BeatCrave Fav
By Brian McConnell
Having been around since 2001, Ratatat is not stranger to the music scene. Unfortunately for many people, however, this electronic duo from the N-Y-C is one they’ve not heard of… until now. It’s so rare that a group comes along that can eliminate (almost) any vocals and compose fantastic tracks that take the listener on a journey not riddled with overbearing back-beats and bass. In addition to their own music, Ratatat has also lent out their talent to such established artists as Bjork and Animal Collective, turning an already fantastic song into one of genius.
We at BeatCrave are proud to include them in our BeatCrave Fav series and hope you enjoy getting better acquainted with Ratatat.
