The Ratpure

Yes, BUT the DFA also did the Sub Pop EP and that sounds little like Echoes does.

Also i Love "open up your heart" but i couldnt care less about "Sister Saviour"

gogogoairheart is fine, i take it adaml has an aversion to the search function (as do a few of the other Scots on ILX).

Me: Yeah, I use to play drums about ten years ago in Detroit--.

Dude: What was your band?

Me: I was in the Catfish. Not that alternative band, but an old school punk band. We never put out a record or played outside of the city.

Dude: That’s what I do, play drums.

Me: What’s your band?

Dude: The Rapture.

Me: No Really, what’s your band?

Dude: The Rapture.

Me: You’re in The Rapture?

Dude: Yeah.

Me: Okay, be honest with me. How much do you hate “House of Jealous Lovers?”

Dude: No, I like that song.

Me: Come on, is there part of you that’s all, “Goddamn, this song again,” when you’re playing out?

Dude: No, no, I like playing that live. Like, I look forward to it.

revive?

I hear they are coming tomorrow.

hahaha

this thread is the reason why whenever I hear "rapture" I autocorrect in my minds to "ratpure." "thanks," ilm

i listened to the tiefschwarz remix of "sister saviour" today, it's still good

Ask and ye shall receive.

For Immediate Release: 23/05/11

New York, NY: The Rapture have announced the release details for their long awaited third album ‘InThe Grace Of Your Love’ on September 5th in the UK & September 6th in the US through DFA Records.

The release of ‘In The Grace Of Your Love’ marks the dawn of a new chapter in the bands history and a welcome return to DFA Records family, having re-signed with the label that released some of their most acclaimed early singles, and whose founders James Murphy & Tim Goldsworthy produced their debut album ‘Echoes’.

Together with French producer Phillipe Zdar (Phoenix, Beastie Boys, Chromeo) they have crafted and shaped a bold & euphoric album that sounds definitively & distinctly like The Rapture and no one else. Here through the course of its eleven tracks, you can immerse yourself as waves of lyrical optimism & introspection crash between angular guitars & pulsing synthesizers, pounding drums & into sweet rhythmical lullabies. This is the sound of The Rapture re-engaged and revitalized with a voice as clear as they ever had.

The full tracklisting is as follows:

In The Grace Of Your Love

1) Sail Away

2) Miss You

3) Blue Bird

4) Come Back to Me

5) In the Grace of Your Love

6) Never Gonna Die Again

7) Roller Coaster

8) Children

9) Can You Find a Way?

10) How Deep Is Your Love?

11) It Takes Time to Be a Man

In The Grace Of Your Love was recorded at Motorbass, Paris and Gary's Electric in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Good to see the guitars are still being described as "angular". The publicist worked hard on that one.

cool

i really hope the timing of that press release was intentional

I'm sure it was!

they looked at google over the weekend and were like "hey, we're trending!"

Is it just me or is the chorus to "How Deep Is Your Love?" v.close to Sisqo's "Thong Song"?

ETC OTM

it's kind of hilarious

song is also the shit tho

if you're gonna bite a hook you could do A LOT worse than the "thong song"
