Not too long after their performance at Governors Ball, electronic-rock duo Ratatat returned to New York for a very sold out performance at Webster Hall on July 17. The show served as the official release show for their new album Magnifique, which was released that same day via XL Recordings.
There’s no doubt that the duo of Mike Stroud and Evan Mast would have no problem filling out a larger space such as Terminal 5 with their electronic rock instrumentals. So geting to see them comfortably play a place like Webster Hall was most certainly a treat.
The group play with a deep fog hanging above them, but dazzle the audience with a jaw-dropping laser show that coincides way too well with their grooves. The band have a way of connecting to fans in a unique way, with crowd response heightening with every big bass hit or memorable guitar riff. Crowd favorites “Seventeen Years” and “Wildcat” were particular highlights of the night, with no lull in the gratifying 19-song effort.
The stage will certainly be much bigger the next time Ratatat come around, but there is no doubt that it won’t still be a most electric evening.
