Ratatat's founders, Mike "Snake" Stroud and Evan ''E*Vax" Mast, have been making music out of a Crown Heights apartment in Brooklyn since 2001, their unique sound born of a combined love of Jay-Z, The Rolling Stones, Timbaland and Beethoven. Mike, as one of the best guitarists in New York, has spent his time touring extensively with Ben Kweller and Dashboard Confessional whilst Evan has been busy making music as E*vax, releasing his first record through Audio Dregs, a label run by him and his brother E*Rock. Now back in their bedroom studio the pair have made a sing-along record, just without words. While dance music is trying to re-invent itself and rock is returning to it's roots, Ratatat seem to make a happy mess in both fields.
