But silence, doubters: with Echoes, these tousle-haired Brooklynites have made one of the defining records of 2003. Drawing on everything from British post-punk, early Chicago house and the shrill post-grunge sound of the mid-1990s Seattle underground, Echoes can loosely be divided into three parts: the scalpel-sharp guitar work-outs (\"Heaven\", \"Echoes\"), the booty-shaking, room-quaking dancefloor fillers (\"House of Jealous Lovers\", \"Sister Saviour\") and the bare, \"Perfect Day\"-style torch-songs (\"Open Up Your Heart\", \"Love Is All\"). Mind you, that's not to say Echoes lacks moments of individual majesty, as the frazzled tears-on-the-dancefloor acid shimmer of \"Olio\" proudly attests.\nFrontman Luke Jenner's cut-glass caterwaul--pitched somewhere maddeningly between the Cure's Robert Smith and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain--is on the perpetual drift between sadness, anger and euphoria. Yet the whole of Echoes flows like a dream, segueing from track to track like the best mix-tape you never owned. Believe it: not only have the Rapture rehabilitated the humble cowbell, they've crafted one of the most inventive and successful dance-rock crossovers since Primal Scream's Screamadelica. --Louis Pattison\n\nProduct description\n\nThe Rapture ~ Echoes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 602498654477\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0602498654477\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2072821\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44638608982275,"sku":"KU-HKY7-PE8H","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61r0gdQkxtL.jpg?v=1706135834","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/echoes-3","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
