The Rapture Defy End of World, Return to DFA With New Album This Fall

DFA Records

Well, the Rapture has come and gone and we're all still here blinking and breathing -- and so is a band that we gladly welcome back to the scene, the Rapture. The New York-based dance rockers return to James Murphy's DFA label -- the label behind their breakout record 'Echos' -- for 'In the Grace of Your Love.'

According to Pitchfork, the band are gearing up to release 'In the Grace of Your Love' September 6 in the US and September 5 in Europe via DFA, while Modular will pick up distribution duties in Australia and New Zealand.

"It's hard to guess what songs will make the record at [this] point, but I'd say this album is gonna be a lot more like 'Echoes' than 'Pieces' -- it'll be a broader album," drummer Vito Roccoforte told Pitchfork back in February of last year.

"It won't be all dance songs. So far the recordings sound to me like the band playing live. We haven't done a lot of editing; we're trying to keep it organic."

The band have been busy working in the studio with Phoenix collaborator and producer Philippe Zdar in Paris. This will be the Rapture's first album since 2006's 'Pieces of the People We Love.'
