The Rapture: In the Grace of Your Love
DFA
The Rapture may have benefited from the best accidental marketing campaign ever. A few days after the supposed religious rapture this past May—the presumed end of the world—the New York electro-rock band announced that they planned to release their first new album in five years. Happy coincidence or good timing? Either way, the post-punk trio, who recorded the new disc with producer Philippe Zdar (Phoenix), have crafted something that makes you glad that life on Earth didn’t cease. “Miss You,” an angular, hand-clapping rocker, could drag even the most reluctant listener to their feet while “Never Die Again” is a disco-tinged dance number reminiscent of the band’s past releases. First single “How Deep Is Your Love?” embodies the boisterous spirit of all 11 songs—however The Rapture combines their instruments, it always ends up sounding like a party.
