The Rapture

Musical Group

The Rapture is an American dance-punk band formed in New York City, associated with DFA production and known for the album Echoes (2003) and the follow-up Pieces Of The People We Love (2006).

Publicly associated with the DFA label and the early-2000s dance-punk/punk-funk scene; praised for energetic live shows (reviews highlight performances and crowd response) and for tracks such as "House of Jealous Lovers" and "Sister Saviour"; studio releases received mixed critical reactions.

DeBaser reviews present a mixed picture: Echoes (2003) is widely praised for energy and post-punk/dance-punk character. Pieces Of The People We Love (2006) divides critics — some call it a mainstream, discofied step, others praise catchy singles. Live performances are highlighted as vigorous and danceable. Overall strong live reputation but polarized studio reception.

For:Fans of dance-punk, post-punk revival, DFA-associated bands and energetic live shows.

 The Rapture takes a plunge into the mainstream and emerges voided, the MTV-ized Rapture.
