Ratatat
Formerly known as Cherry, Brooklyn's Ratatat is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Evan Mast (who also runs electronica label Audio Dregs) and guitarist Mike Stroud.
Peddling a sound that is lodged between spiralling hard rock and lo-fi bedroom electronica, the duo has been moving more towards live percussion and more organic song writing recently; an inspired move that can progress into strange and unusual places.

Ratatat - Shempi
XL
After enduring a year of italo-influenced neon fluff, I've been starting to think electronica has been missing an air of mystery recently. So it bodes well for 2009 if we're kicking off with enigmatic pieces of sound-architecture like this.
For despite sounding a little like a Madonna backing track, 'Shempi' is a bit of a rabbit hole of a song. Starting out innocuously enough, this song suddenly rises up and drags you into a weird, twisted fairground inhabited by mutated carnies throwing knives at each other.
