Rat & Co Third Law

The Melbourne-based electronic band Rat & Co has shared stages with Tycho, Purity Ring, and Com Truise. “Third Law” is the highly anticipated third album from Rat & Co, “Third Law”, stands as a social commentary on the slow decline of human interaction and the rise of AI.
This record presents a delicate blend of old school electronica and postmodernism. The thirteen tracks are slow builders with dark textures, dystopian elements and a surprisingly-dense sound.
With a melting pot of different genres – hints of ethereal trap and Middle Eastern harmonics – it can be easy for the end result to become confused, however, Rat & Co manage to pull this off gracefully.
This record avoids the all-too-familiar trap of being overly self-involved, instead providing genuine substance – it is downtempo and mellow, holding clear direction throughout. Sometimes ambient, sometimes fiery, when it comes to the genre and subject matter, there is always a refreshing viewpoint to be drawn. TIP!!!
