It was release on October 2012. The self-produced Rats conjures up the essence of Balthazar. Its heartwrenching melodies tell tales of unspoiled love and foolish desire. At its core are the bands trademark vocal harmonies, drenched in quirky romantic textures. Balthazar sway and swoon, from melancholic bossa grooves to euphoric waltzes. Youll hear a stunning, sexy rhythm section Serge Gainsbourg would approve of and the kind of lush arrangements that whisper Scott Walkers name. Jinte and Maarten dont shy away from their admiration for the classic songwriters. Thats the kind of poetry we really enjoy. Result? Chills, goosebumps and sweet shivers. L.A.-based Noah Georgeson (The Strokes, Devendra Banhart) has done an excellent job mixing this collection of spine-tingling songs.
