Brooklyn dance-punk kingpins stake their claim to being best around on first album in five years.

The Rapture, whose 2003 'Echoes' remains a beacon of dance beating post-punk, have spent the majority of the last five years ironing out their internal squalls. After bassist Matt Safer left the group, the band returned to their old stomping grounds on the DFA label and paired up with producer Philippe Zdar (Phoenix, Beastie Boys). Thankfully 'In The Grace of Your Love' is a prime example of The Rapture doing what they do best – pulling people out of their chairs and making them hit the dance floor. However, this album is not by any means [...]
Nos encanta Goddard... Después de la maravilla que hizo hace unas semanas en DFA ("Gabriel"), toca algo suyo como "The 2 Bears", el dúo que tiene con Raf Rundle y [....]

C'est la mâchoire serrée, le sourire crispé, l'estomac comprimé que je me vois contraint et forcé de m'enfiler une seconde fois le dernier opus des New-Yorkais de The Rapture . Je garde le rouleau de papier toilette près de moi car il est bien probable que si la pilule passe cette fois, elle agisse plus à la manière d'une dragée Fucca. Comme elles me paraissent loin, ces années où Echoes , petit miracle symbiote d'un revival no wave, laissait entrevoir chez le jeune quatuor un potentiel encore inexploité chez aucun autre. Même le boss du label DFA , bien incapable de [...]
Joe Goddard's Valentina featuring single 'Gabriel' is quietly gathering momentum. The late summer slow burner smash now has a video. Think 902s, tie-dye and butterfly prints.

Joe Goddard, el gordito carismático de Hot Chip es una persona muy activa musicalmente hablando. Después de haber sacado un gran primer EP titulado Harvest Festival, sacar el último disco de Hot Chip One Life Stand el año pasado, y varios EPs con su proyecto The 2 Bears, el músico inglés nos presenta Gabriel, su nuevo EP. Aquí dejo el video de la rola que le da nombre a esta nueva producción y en donde podemos escuchar a Valentina en las vocales. Enjoy. [...]

//photo from back in the day - sorry, they took better photos back then.. The Rapture is back on DFA, which means you need to run to the closet and pull out your dancing shoes from 2003 because this motherfucker is gonna burn down. The band comes back dancey as ever thanks to some production by Philippe Zdar of Phoenix, though it's hard to get down exactly the same way without bassist Matt Safer's crazy energy (why did they have to call him out like that in Pitchfork? Dang..) Listening to this record [...]

Preface: Many of you might have wondered what had become of Lipstick Communism, it's dormancy leaving a harsh cry in the ears of its several dozen readers, its absence a bitter aftertaste of those who reveled in the opinions of a small few. Never mind our MIA status, we're back with sincere apologies and I myself have returned after a bitter bout of writer's block which lead to the dark annals of alcoholism, only to emerge with a tragic and besmirched worldview. And that just makes for better reading. New York based dance-punk trio The Rapture played [...]

The Rapture - In The Grace Of Your Love Entre os segundos finais de "Live In Sunshine" , última faixa do álbum Pieces Of The People We Love , e os segundos iniciais de "Sail Away" , canção que abre o novo álbum dos nova-iorquinos do The Rapture , uma lacuna de cinco anos acabou se materializando. Durante o hiato de meia década, o grupo norte-americano responsável por clássicos recentes das pistas de dança como "House Of Jealous Lovers" e [...]

DFA put up a nice little soundcloud set of lots of their tunes... So I thought might as well spread the love in this fucking dingy morning we are having in London.

![Gavin Russom – Night Sky [Radio Edit] (2011)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3649432_lg.jpg)
Género: Electronic, trance. Gavin Russom es un productor de NYC que colabora en DFA, miembro de Black Leotard Front y The Crystal Arkdel aunque en solitario sólo se le conocen apariciones esporádicas. Ahora nos presenta Night Sky punta de lanza de su primer EP que también se titulará así. Se ha afeitado la barba y ahora su estética se asimila a un cantante de country, pero su sonido nada tiene que ver, tecno, trance, electrónica afilada son sus argumentos. Gavin [...]

In 2009 Joe Goddard (key member of Hot Chip) debuted his solo LP "Harvest Festival". Since then he's put out some very triumphant 123s and remixes. His last EP "Gabriel" features Valentina, an upcoming vocalist from the UK. I predict the title track is gonna be big although I haven't heard much of his other solo stuff get much local play. We're here to change that though Make sure to also keep an ear out for his other project The Two Bears Keep: [...]

A call to drag indie back to something with more boog and Manilow, the Rapture have reunited from their parted ways to bring you DFA 's most anticipated recordings. The first single How Deep Is Your Love is up front about the band's Bee Gees influences but the chorus perverts my mind with silver haired Sisqo and the Thong Song. Setting the original aside, Wax Motif and A&R tastemaker Neoteric gave out a remix this week and I have to say I don't remember the last time free music [...]
