“the coolest unconventional musicians of 2008 – there’s no doubt this is genius at work” (Rip It Up)
“The hallmark of Ratatat’s genius is their willingness to process the absolute hell out of their guitar sounds, warping them almost beyond recognition to create a blueprint for the progression of music for decades to come” (Time Out Sydney)
Evan and Mike navigate their unique sonic hover crafting a free flowing chromatic wave of guitars, keyboards, beats, smoke and mirrors back to add another overwhelming layer of atmosphere with TOUR3.
This tour will also include for the first time shows in China, Hong Kong... and more if the wind allows it.
