The Rapture are set to release new single ‘Sail Away’ on December 12th, with remixes from Cut Copy, Aeropane and Cosmic Kids.
Now at home on DFA once again, The Rapture seem at ease. Third album ‘In The Grace Of Your Love’ was marked with a renewed confidence – a confidence that was evident on recent tour dates.
Playing a number of British shows, the dates include a 10th anniversary DFA party at the 100 Club. Now The Rapture are preparing a new EP, with album highlight ‘Sail Away’ set to be backed with three remixes.
Australian group Cut Copy have re-worked the track, with Aeroplane and Cosmic Kids also providing remixes. Watch the video for ‘Sail Away’ below…
