| | After whirlwind touring and recording, Ratatat are set to be | |
| | breaking new barriers with their fourth album on XL Recordings | |
| | this June. Playing with new unexpected experimental sounds, Evan | |
| | Mast and Mike Stroud made 'LP4' straight after their prolific | |
| | recording sessions in rural upstate New York for their third | |
| | album. 'LP4' however, has been described as a 'weirder' listen | |
| | than 'LP3', with a new approach to the structures of the tracks. | |
| | | |
| | Incorporating never-used-before sounds and instruments into the | |
| | mix and working with a full string section, the album also | |
| | features a number of spoken word interludes, one taken from | |
| | Werner Herzog's 1977 film Stroszek and the rest of the samples | |
| | courtesy of Linda Manz, the child actress in Terence Mallick?s | |
| | 1978 classic Days of Heaven. Whilst trying to clear the spoken | |
| | word sample from Days of Heaven, Mast unexpectedly ended up | |
| | meeting with Linda herself where he recorded an interview with | |
| | her, and the excerpts make up the remaining vocal snippets. | |
| | | |
| | Dazed Digital: How does the new stuff compare to the old stuff? | |
| | Ratatat: It's kind of a logical step forward, the new record was | |
| | made immediately after the last record, so we were really deep | |
| | into song writing at that point, experimenting with new ideas - | |
| | song structures are really different, more complicated, more | |
| | textural and layered. song we never used before. In terms of | |
| | vocals, we probably won't ever have those for our records, just | |
| | to keep it like, pure. | |
| | | |
| | DD: So it's all live instruments on the album? How do you two | |
| | work together? | |
| | Ratatat: Mostly, there's a lot of synthesizers and often we write | |
| | a part and play it rather than programming. We generally just | |
| | record, the two of us and nine times out of ten start with a | |
| | beat, and then engineer it. | |
| | | |
| | DD: Any dream collaborations? | |
| | Ratatat: Loads yeah, we would like to work with a lot of rappers, | |
| | Li'l Wayne would be fun, Giggs - who we're on the same label with | |
| | so maybe we could sort something out. But remixes, we've got | |
| | nothing in the works, haven't done any in a while... | |
| | | |
| | DD: What's with the birds on the record/artwork? | |
| | Ratatat: That's my bird - she was in the studio with us when we | |
| | made the record, so we kinda put her there. You can hear her in | |
| | the record, her sounds - so we sampled the bird. In the track | |
| | Grape Juice City- you can really hear her wings flapping and make | |
| | like trippy sounds. She creeps into a bunch of tracks, 'cause | |
| | she's just really noisy. We had her cage set up next to the | |
| | piano, so in the background you can hear her. | |
| | | |
| | DD: What's next? | |
| | Ratatat: Touring over the summer, the shows in New York compared | |
| | to London are a lot bigger. They're local for us so the producion | |
| | is a lot crazier- whereas overseas the set up is a lot more | |
| | basic. It's nice having a mix to have shows in Europe smaller | |
| | than the US, and we were in Asia, playing this tiny like Spanish | |
| | restaurant in Vietnam - so it's nice to have both. | |
| | | |
| | LP4 is out on XL Recordings on June 7th | |
