Ratatat is an electronic rock duo based out of Brooklyn, New York that fuses stylish electronica with pop-rock and upbeat hip-hop. Why is that great for music while you work? Because it’s fun. The whole album is energetic, full of mirth and personality, and uptempo rhythms. You can hear in the music that the duo, Mike Stroud and Evan Mast, had a ton of fun creating this album.

There are no vocals in this album but rather be-bop and other lyricless styles, all played through heavy effects. To that point, their music combines many different styles, and though it might seem like too much to some, I enjoy the melting pot of sounds and musical styles they present. So if struggling to write goals for your direct reports before your next 1:1, pop this on and you’ll be surprised how quickly the goals write themselves, even if one of them ends up being, “Be more bitchin'”.
