Ratatat - S/T

This year I discovered two excellent, fairly unknown instrumental bands. The first was The Octopus Project which I intend to post as soon as my import of their most recent album arrives, the second was a guitar duo named Ratatat. Upon listening to them I was convinced that their music was being created through the use of keyboards and synthesizers. I was way off. It's two guys with a guitar each and the ability to use their instruments to make some incredibly enjoyable dance rock that really defies the boundaries of the sounds you should be able to create with a guitar.
