Track Review: Ratatat - Wildcat

Ratatat's acclaimed self-titled debut dropped in 2004 and thankfully they're back in the game with their new disc Classics. The fourth track "Wildcat" means business and that business is making you dance. The bassline is funky as shit and the guitars are as Ratatat-y as they come, but what really sets this track off is the sample of a wildcat roar. Interjected every so often, the howl gives the song an extra ounce of attitude -- not that it's lacking in that department. What begins as fairly tame builds into one ferocious beast of a song.
