Ratatat: Cherry

New York noise-makers Ratatat are actually only two guys with guitars and synthesizers, but they manage to cram more hooks in one song than most full bands can work into an entire album.

Cherry is the closer of the band's self-titled debut, and it's fairly representative of the album as a whole. It's laid-back and breezy, but still capable of causing involuntary movement from anyone within hearing distance. It isn't quite the club-ready beat the band would become known for: instead, it's more likely to soundtrack the after-party on the beach, after all the bars close and the water reflects moonlight.

Ratatat will be appearing this Sunday at the Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac. More information can be found at the Crofoot.
