The Rapture
This is a subject that has got lots of tounges wagging. I am not talking about being taken up in the air with the eschatological theology of many North Americans. I am talking about a band.
I was introduced to this band by my brother who was able to get tickets to a london gig.
It is not a brand new album but I thought I would do a quick review as I have been enjoying it.
"In The Grace Of Your Love" is The Rapture's Third studio. Hailing from New York the band serve a blend of indie rock, post-punk and electronic sounds.
In The Grace Of Your Love
Is an eleven track delight with a mix of genres. The stand tracks are "Sail away" which has received some coverage on sports programmes in the UK and would fit into a Fifa soundtrack nicely. The vocals are higher end with open snares on the drum kit. There is lots of hammer on hammer off action on the guitars which have an 80's feel.
In The Grace Of Your Love is another stand out track and has profound and liberating lyrics. "In the Grace of your love you don't turn me away, in the grace of your love no-one ever dies."
"How deep is your love"- has an anthemic feel with an almost Gospel ending, bring in the choir for the re-mix.
"Come back to me" and "Can You find a Way"" have the biggest dance/electronic influences.
I was quite pleased to have seen the band live before hearing the album. They are a really tight band, and talented musicians who create energy and space on stage.
