"Ratts of the Capital" is one of the pieces on Happy Songs for Happy People, the fourth album by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai, released in 2003 on Play It Again Sam and Matador. The band composed it together, and Luke Sutherland is credited on guitar.
The album was cut at CaVa Studios in Glasgow with Tony Doogan producing alongside the band, and it pushed further into the quieter, more electronic sound they had been chasing, still built on electric guitars and live drums but with synthesizers stepping to the front and strings and piano turning up now and then. Critics gave the record a warm welcome, and it caught the band trusting mood over muscle.
