Limited edition Silver Vinyl
*Limited to 1000 copies.
Limited silver vinyl pressing of The Rapture's 2001 dance-punk classic "Out Of The Races And Onto The Tracks", one of the pivotal releases of the early-2000s wave of dance-punk centered around New York. 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 "those who know" for its energetic, often chaotic live sets; Jenner jumping about like a stilted prat on steroids, while the rhythm section pushed out its patented brand of "sonic deathfuck groove". 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.
