About this product
The Rapture was formed in the spring of 1998 by Vito Roccoforte and Luke Jenner. With a keen ear focused toward visionaries such as PIL, Televison, and Chrome, the band quickly formed a reputation across the country, among Inchthose who knowInch for it's energetic, often chaotic live sets; Jenner jumping about like a stilted prat on steroids, while the rhythm section pushed out it's patented brand of Inchsonic deathfuck groove.InchTwo records were recorded that fall an 8-song LP released on the seminal San Diego art punk tag, Gravity Records, and a single released on Sonny Kaye's Gold Standard Laboratories. Following these two releases, the band took it's make-it-fucked-up philosophy on the road, touring with Sunny Day Real Estate, Gogogo Airheart, and Nuzzle.In May of 1999 the band relocated to New York City. Matt Safer, a recent arrival from Washington DC, took over the bass roles. With a more solid lineup than ever before, the band dove into an exploration of dance and pop music, adding Chic, The Byrds, The Happy Mondays, and Timbaland to their previous influences. On the EP that followed - 2001's Out Of the Races and Onto the Tracks - The Rapture nailed their iconoclastic brand of wildly energetic rock drawing as much from dance music as post-punk. This new silver-vinyl pressing, limited to 1,000 copies, brings this seminal record back to vinyl for the first time in years. Album Tracks 1. Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks 2.

Silver Vinyl. Stimulation is easy to come by these days. Streaming platforms and social media offer us endless fleeting moments of diversion that keep what we call the Inchpleasure zonesInch of our brains lit up morning till night. But for such a supposedly hedonistic time, real pleasure-the kind that feeds our soul rather than draining it, that makes us feel good instead of just distracting us from the fact that we feel bad-is in shockingly short supply. The second LP by Brattleboro, Vermont's Thus Love is full of that kind of nourishing euphoria. It swoons, shakes, and swaggers with a combination of grit and sensuality that's been hard to locate in music lately. It fills your brain with barbed melodic hooks that once they sink in don't budge. It punches at the clouds and makes you want to do the same. It's called, fittingly, All Pleasure.The album came out of a period of dizzying growth and transformation for the group. When they began work on it, vocalist/guitarist Echo Mars (they/them) and drummer Louie Racine (he/they) were still reeling from the runaway success of their 2022 debut full-length, Memorial-a set of rich, elegant post-punk that brought praise from The FADER, the NME, and the Guardian, plus a leap from quiet Brattleboro to stages across the US and UK-along with processing the departure of founding bassist Nathaniel van Osdol. Meanwhile, new bassist Ally Juleen (she/they) and guitarist/keyboardist Shane Blank (he/him), longtime musical partners, had uprooted their lives to relocate to small-town Vermont and join a band that was a month away from recording the follow-up to a cultishly adored album.InchWe were all coming together to make this new thing and take a new step,Inch Mars says. InchWe've all been making music for a while, and we've all been confronted with aspects of it that are grueling and not pleasurable.Inch When the group convened in a bar
Get ready to be transported to a world of mesmerizing music with PWNT's latest project, 'Play What's Not There.' It all started with the of PWNT's debut album, 'Days in the Summer,' in the midst of the most trying times for the music industry. While most artists would have gone on a support tour to promote their album, Kosta Galanopoulos, the mastermind behind PWNT, found himself creatively invigorated during the pandemic. With newfound free time, Kosta poured all his energy into creating a new album, and 'Play What's Not There' was born. This collection of tracks feels so timeless and captivating that you'll find yourself coming back to it again and again. Kosta brought on board an exceptional team of artists, musicians, and producers to help him pull off this masterpiece.
Originally released in 2011 and ultimately the swan song of the band's core lineup, In the Grace Of Your Love marked a reset for The Rapture and a welcome return to DFA, the tag that helped them make their instantly seminal debut, Echoes. The momentum and success of those years led to a major tag roller coaster ride that dumped them right back where they started, scars to show but now free to push beyond the boundaries of expectation. Guiding them there was the late, great Philippe Zdar, one-half of French dance duo Cassius and producer for the likes of Phoenix and the Beastie Boys. Zdar's enthusiasm and technical prowess are audible within the record's first 30 seconds InchSail AwayInch is the Rapture gone widescreen and radiant, a five-minute long exhale with disco drums. There is, of course, plenty of fodder for the dance kids - InchHow Deep Is Your LoveInch still slams barroom dance floors in New York City, InchMiss YouInch is a bit of irresistible minor-key mischief - but overall the feeling is one of slowing down, taking stock, searching for meaning and love in more right places than wrong. Ergo, it's finale InchIt Takes Time To Be a Man,Inch a charmingly honest, piano-plonked song about taking responsibility and helping others. It sounds like absolutely nothing else in the Rapture's catalog and yet also perfectly ends it. Credits roll, time goes on, records still mean everything. Album Tracks 1. Sail Away 2. Miss You 3. Blue Bird 4. Come Back to Me 5. In the Grace of Your Love 6. Never Die Again 7. Roller Coaster 8. Children 9. Can You Find a Way? 10. How Deep Is Your Love? 11. It Takes Time to Be a Man
