November 17, 2011

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post regarding The Rapture‘s new video for “Sail Away,” and a bonus track that was included on the Japanese release of In The Grace Of Your Love, we wanted to let everyone know that the band is holding a remix competition for the single “How Deep Is Your Love?”

Check out the info below and start remixing!

From DFA Records:

That’s why, for the first time in our 10 year history, we’d like to ask you folks to share your take on the track with us. Download the stems via the soundcloud player below and craft whatever sort of remix you’d like.

The Rapture release bonus track “In Love Divine” + premier video for “Sail Away”

November 16, 2011

Since The Rapture‘s return to the music scene with the release of their latest LP In The Grace Of Your Love, the band’s discography has been on constant rotation here at MFPP. To celebrate our love for The Rapture, we have two treats in store for you!

First is “In Love Divine,” which is a 7 minute track that was included as a bonus single for the Japanese release of In The Grace Of Your Love.” Thanks to SKoA for the track!

Our second treat is the new video The Rapture released for In The Grace Of Your Love‘s opening track “Sail Away.” While “Sail Away” was not a standout track for me on the LP, the video is entertaining enough as frontman Luke Jenner rides around on what appears to be a piece of tinfoil.

CHECK IT :: The Rapture to release new album ‘In The Grace Of Your Love’ + DFA Radiomix

May 27, 2011

My first taste of NYC’s dance-punk outfit The Rapture came through their single “Out Of The Races And Onto The Tracks,” which I first heard back in high school. The jangly guitars, catchy dance riffs, and killer lyrics (i.e. “shake, shake, shake, shake”) really turned me on to their sound, and after seeing them perform live, I was hooked. With the release of their 2002 debut Echoes, which featured the infectious single “House Of Jealous Lovers,” The Rapture began to gain more ground in the music scene, and their live shows/DJ sets became a settled source of great music in NYC.

Now, The Rapture are ready to return to your stereos with the September 6 release of  In The Grace Of Your Love through DFA Records. While we only have the tracklist to offer at this time, we will keep you updated as any new information/tracks emerge!

In The Grace Of Your Love tracklist::
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

Speaking of DFA Records, The Rapture’s bassist, Gabriel Andruzzi, recently released a radiomix he created for the music label, which can be heard/downloaded  below. Make sure to click the “info” tab on the player for the tracklist!

LISTEN :: Mattie Safer (formerly of The Rapture) brings future gospel to “O Holy Night”

December 14, 2010

Most of you might remember Mattie Safer as the former bassist for a little electro-dance group known as The Rapture. Since his departure from the aforementioned group, Mr. Safer has been working on some solo material and his first release comes in the form of the Christmas song “O Holy Night”.

In regards to the track Mr. Safer said:

I’ve included several different versions here.  First, the main mix.  It’s a Christmas song and as such it’s a little different, a little special, and thus not entirely representative of what I’ve been up to (anymore so than “Christmas In Hollis” is representative of what Run DMC’s entire catalog sounds like)., but it is probably indicative of a certain aspect of what I’ve been up to, and I like it.  We been calling it “Future Gospel” for laughs, you can call it whatever you like…

I’ve also included a more traditional version, which features voice and guitar.  This one is perhaps a bit more “Christmas-y.”  More appropriate perhaps for the Christmas Eve fireside set.

Finally, I’ve included the acapella and instrumental tracks as tools for those of you who like that sort of thing.

Grab a listen to the tracks below and if you like, you can purchase them here.

WATCH :: The Rapture debut new track

June 28, 2010

Boy do I feel like I am getting old .. I remember when I first heard the Rapture’s track “Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks” back when I was in high school. In fact, I am pretty sure they opened up for Andrew W.K. when I saw him perform back in 2004 or so. Regardless, the Rapture have stayed relatively quiet over the past few years aside from DJ gigs + the departure of Mattie Safer. Luckily, the bassman loss has not ripped the group apart and they even debuted a new track at a semi-secret show in Brooklyn last week.
