Rat & Co is a recently conceived ambient/electro act out of Melbourne with some link to Chet Faker – the genealogy isn’t clear, but songwriter Joshua Delaney might play in Chet Faker’s band. Delaney’s tracks are the elevator musak of the future; dripping, bubbling, beige slices of wallpaper for sleek and airless rooms, where humanish androids touch palms rather than rub genitals and emotional experiences are synthesised and sold in packs with bubblegum. Stylish but cold.
