Rat & co

It’s been just on a year since they put out their debut album ‘One (壱) Uno (壹) Ein’. Holding a reputation as one of Melbourne’s best live exports, in 2013 Rat & Co toured with Chet Faker on his first headline tour across Europe and supported Gold Panda (UK), HTRK and Snakadaktal. ‘One (壱) Uno (壹) Ein’ was met with critical acclaim in print and online, received feature album at SYN FM and secured solid airplay on Triple J, 3RRR, PBS, FBi, 3D and 4ZZZ. As noted highlights at Strawberry Fields and Paradise Music Festival, 2013 cemented Rat & Co as “as an act to watch” (Faster Louder). Their first offering in 2014 is ‘Vocal Insanity’ – a fusion of pitched-down samples, house beats and underground hip-hop. This is the first track from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Binary’ due for release in May. ‘Vocal Insanity’ melts ambient textures into slow jam beats and where white noise kick snaps accent the spacious production. A prelude from what’s to come from ‘Binary’, this track signals a deeper richness to Rat & Co’s experimental layers. Read more on Last.fm.
