RATATAT's new album, LP4, is the duo's next step forward on the work that they began on LP3. It was conceived during the creative streak that began during the LP3 sessions at Old Soul studios, in rural Upstate New York. Since we last checked in with Evan Mast and Mike Stroud, they have remixed BJORK and worked with KID CUDI on his debut album. The Cleveland-bred MC credits Ratatat's music as inspiration for his single Day 'N' Nite, which recently blazed its way up the Billboard Hot 100. The band describes LP4 as a 'weirder' album than LP3, with a much braver approach to the arrangements. There are more instruments featured on the record than ever before, and for the first time a full string section. The album also features a number of spoken word interludes, one taken from Werner Herzog's film STROSZECK in which the lead character Bruno S describes the keyboards he owns. The other samples are all courtesy of Linda Manz, the cult American actress who has worked with Terrance Mallick (DAYS OF HEAVEN) Philip Kaufman, Dennis Hopper (OUT OF THE BLUE) and Harmony Korine (GUMMO).
