"Rat-a-tat-tat" is Jason Collett's latest attempt to have his name listed as an alternate definition of "Canadian music" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Jason is taking time off from the ubiquitous Canadian super-group "Broken Social Scene" and his other band "Zeus" and from collaborations with the Weakerthans and Hawksley Workman to collaborate with members of Broken Social Scene, Zeus and the Weakerthans, Metric, maybe Feist and possibly Hawksley Workman on his new album "Rat-a-tat-tat". I apologize if this sounds a little negative, that's not my intention. He isn't actually collaborating with that many people on this album. I'm kind of exaggerating a bit.
I was wondering whether I should post "Rat-a-tat-tat" or "Zeus" on this blog, but I went with "Rat-a-tat-tat" because it has (what I feel to be) a more original sound. It feels a bit like late 60s or early 70s psychedelic rock with a lazy pace and a bit of a folksy feel. It's really some super-cool stuff.
What else can I say...? I'm kind of lazy right now and I think you should just go listen to the album. Go listen!
