#Ratatat’s E.VAX Announces New Album, Shares Video for New Song: Watch

E.VAX—aka Ratatat’s Evan Mast—has announced a new solo album. The self-titled LP arrives August 27 via Because Music. Today, Mast has shared “Kast,” the second single from E.VAX. Watch the trippy visual for the song below; plus, find the video for the album opener “Rabindra.”

Mast recorded E.VAX at his home and in a friend’s art gallery in Montana. “One of my favorite moments over the past few years was riding on a scooter with my brother through a landscape of karst mountains in southern China,” Mast said of his new song and video. “I wanted this track to sound the way that felt. I started recording it in Brooklyn during the most intense part of lockdown last spring, and finished it a few months later in a barn at a friend’s place in Montana.”

Since his days as one half of Ratatat, Mast has produced for the likes of Kanye West, Kid Cudi, and JAY-Z. Of his new album, he said: “I used to be way more precious. A lot of this stuff on the record is about trying to skip the brain processes that can get in the way of making something that really feels sincere.”
