Ratatat is a ist Mike Stroud and Synthesizer driver and Producer Evan Mast .

Stroud and Mast originally met as students at Skidmore College , but did not work together musically until 2001 , when their project was named Cherry (later the name of their final song in their debut album). Written and recorded in the bedroom of Mast's Crown Heights , Brooklyn apartment, the band's debut album '' Ratatat '' for XL Recordings was released in 2004. This album is entirely Instrumental , except for occasional excerpts of dialogue at the beginning and end of some tracks. Ratatat has toured with bands such as Interpol , Clinic and The Killers .

The band started out on the independent label Rex Records , on which they released their first single, Seventeen Years . They then released that single again, but on Evan and his brother's record label Audio Dregs . They then signed for XL Recordings , releasing their debut album, and the single Germany To Germany . Ratatat occasionally remix other artists' songs, most notably on their limited 2004 release '' Ratatat Mixtape Vol. 1 '', which garnered the attention of Rolling Stone . In 2005, the band remixed a track for Swedish band Shout Out Louds - "The Comeback".
