Ratatat's new album LP4 (due out June 8th) was recorded during the LP3 sessions. The band describes the new record as 'weirder' than it previous work, with a much braver approach to the arrangements. With that being said, more instruments appear on the new album, including a full string section. It 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 first taken from Terence Mallick’s period drama Days Of Heaven.Expect a U.S. Fall tour to be announced in the near future. Until then, take a listen to the first single off LP4, "Party With Children".
