Rat A Tat Tat

Rat A Tat Tat is the fifth solo studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Jason Collett, released in 2010 via Arts & Crafts. A member of the influential indie-rock collective Broken Social Scene, Collett used this record to further refine his signature blend of Americana-inflected indie rock. Produced by Carlin Nicholson and Michael O'Brien of the Toronto band Zeus, the album benefits from a collaborative, live-in-the-studio feel that prioritizes spontaneous energy over clinical perfection. Featuring guest appearances from members of The Stills and Broken Social Scene, the record is characterized by its warm, analog production and Collett's distinctive, raspy vocal delivery. Lyrically, the album explores themes of love, loss, and nostalgia, often set against the backdrop of the Canadian landscape. It was longlisted for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize and received critical acclaim for its blend of retro influences and modern sensibilities, solidifying Collett's reputation as a premier songwriter in the Canadian indie scene.
