Ratatat "Classics" | 2006 Tour Dates & MP3s
Ratatat's new album "Classics" (out Aug 22, 2006) is, though instrumental, instantly enjoyable - accessible - danceable. It made cleaning my apartment the other day easier than ever. The song "Wildcat" is streaming at their MySpace, or download it here, and then get another track here. You can pre-order the CD at Insound.
Classics is an expansion of the typical Ratatat sound and features some acoustic and slide guitar, sleigh bells and cello. It's a much more rounded out instrumental sound, moving away from the over-the-top Monsters of Rock (not completely of course) toward a more progressive, expansive pallete of sounds [scissorkick]
Ratatat kick off a tour with Envelopes and Panther at Bowery Ballroom in NYC on September 5th (tix). They're also DJing at Hiro Ballroom on August 17th (early album release party - see flyer below), and then again at The Guggenheim Museum's First Fridays on October 6th. All dates below...

"It made cleaning my apartment the other day easier than ever."
I love this blurb, and want to see some sort of Swiffer cross-promotion.
