The Rapture
Mixing post-punk intensity with dance-floor energy, The Rapture captured the zeitgeist of an entire era of indie dance rock in the early 2000s.
Formed in 1998 by Luke Jenner, the band quickly made waves in New York City with their raw mix of punk, disco, funk, and electronic music. Their breakthrough came with the 2003 release of Echoes (DFA), which was led by the surging single "House of Jealous Lovers."
Drawing inspiration from both the grit of NYC's punk history and the pulse of modern club culture, subsequent albums like Pieces of the People We Love (Mercury, 2006) and In the Grace of Your Love (DFA, 2011) saw The Rapture continue to transcend genre and galvanize audiences.
The Rapture remains one of the most singular bands of their generation, entirely on their own terms, and their impact can still be felt today across popular music.
