Oct 26, 2012This album, in my mind, is the pinacle of Ratatats collection so far. The opening track is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I have ever heard. It is abstract and disjointed and absolutely beautiful. 10/10. A masterpiece.

Dec 21, 2010As quiet strings and stupid whizzing noises pull the curtain on LP4, all I imagine is Ratatat going, "Alright, party's over, guys" and all I can think is "wait, is that what was happening for the past 43 minutes?"

It means you can put on LP4 around any mixed group of people at a barbeque or house party this summer and people can simply enjoy the sensory pleasure of interesting, lively music without analysing the cultural baggage than comes with it. The King of Space-age Pop would surely be proud.

The hooks have gotten naggier, the production crisper, to the point where 'LP4''s wide-eyed squelchy funk is carving them an oxymoronic niche: 'utterly compelling background music'.
