Ratatat - “Shiller”
Ratatat have a new album due in July, which we’re looking forward to, as huge fans of Ratatat. But July’s a long way away, so to whet your appetite, here’s their first single from the album, that was released at the beginning of May, called “Shiller”.
“Shiller” is rather a long shot from the Ratatat existing fans will be used to — compare it with “Seventeen Years”, for example — but it’s not a bad thing. If the rest of the album is like this, it will make a great Summer album.

Ratatat - Seventeen Years
We posted Ratatat remixing Björk back in February, but we haven’t posted an actual Ratatat track yet, which seems like a huge oversight. So here’s Seventeen Years from their self-titled first album.
They’ve got a new album known only as LP3 due in July, the first single of which, Shiller, they released two days ago on 7”, and can be ordered from here.

Bjork - Wanderlust (Ratatat remix)
Ratatat continue their penchant for remixing Scandinavian artists (The Knife, Shout Out Louds) with this remix of “Wanderlust”.
The first few times I played this, I put it on and got on with what I was doing, and by the time the track changed, I realised I hadn’t really heard it. It’s a Bjork thing, I think. But once you actually listen to it, Ratatat’ synth/vocal sound works well with Bjork’s voice.
