Indie-electro duo Ratatat has announced a title and release date for their sophomore LP. Classics, the long-awaited follow-up to Ratatat's critically adored 2004 self-titled debut, will be released August 15 on XL. Starting in late June, the band plans to release three limited edition 12-inches with exclusive B-sides and remixes, as well as a new mixtape, through their website. A full US tour is also planned, but the only date announced is the September 5 kickoff show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Stay tuned for more dates and a tracklist, both of which the band promises are forthcoming. www.ratatatmusic.com
