It’s a joyous day for all you college kids/hipsters/instrumental music lovers and everyone in between. Big-time guitar duo Ratatat is emerging once again with a followup to their last album LP3 with another, aptly named LP4. The name fits not only in that it is the next in line, but because it continues the duo’s journey away from the basic bangers into more eclectic work that we first heard on LP3. This may be disappointing, but to me I think it is nice to see a band evolving and growing. I was at first not a fan of LP3 but it grew on me very fast once I realized I needed to take a different approach in my listening than I’d had when listening to their first two albums. We expect big things from these guys so get excited.
Unfortunately for the band, and awesome for everyone else the album was leaked on bittorrent a few days ago. If you’re into stealing have at it.
In the meantime check out these tracks from the album. ‘Drugs’ is definitely more of a banger while ‘Bare Feast’ features a bit more of that eclectic taste that I mentioned above. Both very high quality tracks
