Release Notes:
Once hailed by some writers as the second coming of Gang of Four, The Rapture
were the flagship band of the post-punk revival that swept through the indie
underground during the early 2000s. Formed in 1998 by New Yorkers Vito
Roccoforte (drums) and Luke Jenner (guitars, vocals), the band toured heavily
before releasing a mini-album, Mirror, in 1999. More shows with the likes of
Sunny Day Real Estate and Nuzzle followed; meanwhile, a string of bassists and
keyboard players cycled through the lineup, with Jenner and Roccoforte serving
as the only two permanent members. Bassist Matt Safer, who had recently moved
from Washington, D.C., officially joined the band in time for Out of the Races
and Onto the Tracks, a six-song EP released by Sub Pop in 2001. Gabriel Andruzzi
was added to the lineup one year later, handling the keyboard parts that had
become integral to The Rapture's blend of post-punk aesthetics and dance
rhythms.
The Rapture's profile increased with the release of "House of Jealous Lovers" in
2003. The song had been recorded with help from the DFA production team, who
added heavy electronics to the band's sound, and its popularity convinced The
Rapture to continue working with DFA on a full-length album. The result was
Echoes, which was released in late 2003 and spawned two Top 40 singles in the
U.K. Its follow-up, Pieces of the People We Love, was released three years later
by Mercury and involved production input from Ewan Pearson, Danger Mouse, and
Paul Epworth. Tapes, a stylistically broad mix album, came out through !K7 in
2008. Safer left the following year and it would be two more years before the
band would release another studio album. In the Grace of Your Love, issued in
2011, saw their return to the DFA label, with Andruzzi filling in on bass.
