Rat & Co is a band immersed in the world of electronic and ambient music, originating from Melbourne, Australia. Formed by Joshua Delaney, along with friends John Waller, Kaia Smith, and later member Nic Meredith, the band has established a signature sound that melds the digital with the organic, often blurring the lines between experimental and accessible soundscapes. Since their inception, Rat & Co have been celebrated for their ability to create intricate, emotive melodies that are underpinned by crisp beats and lush synthetic textures, a style that is both contemplative and rhythmically engaging.
Their discography, crowned by releases such as "One (壱) Uno [壹] Ein," showcases a penchant for thematic and conceptual artistry. The album title itself suggests a translingual, international approach to music, an assertion furthered by the band’s seamless integration of various cultural influences into their sonic identity. The tracks "Binary" and "A.I." hint at the group's intrigue with technology and artificial intelligence, themes that resonate throughout their work as they explore humanity's relationship with its digital creations. Songs like "Control" and "Soldiers" encapsulate the duality of their music—controlled yet explorative, militaristic yet peaceful. As Rat & Co continue to evolve, they carry their audiences along a journey through textured ambience and cerebral electronica, securing their place as innovative contributors to the genre.
