Magnifique by Ratatat
Magnifique is an album by Ratatat, released in 2015. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Cream on Chrome”, on 6 lists with a best position of #15.
Magnifique, Ratatat's fifth album, came out on Because Music on July 17, 2015, and Evan Mast and Mike Stroud spent the months before it road-testing the new songs, from a handful of Midwestern dates to Coachella. The result is lush and a little cheeky: stacked, harmonized guitar leads gleaming over thick, head-nodding beats, as grand as the title promises.
"Cream on Chrome" was the first single, out in April, a slow, sleek strut with a chrome finish to match its name, and "Abrasive" followed in June. There's a cover of Springwater's 1971 single "I Will Return" tucked in among the originals, and the collage sketches on the sleeve are the duo's own work.
