Details: Product Description 'NYC's flyest disco-punk hustlers return with exactly that. More cowbell!' - blender. 'Pieces of the People We Love' was written over the course of 12 months after the band had finished touring their debut. They road-tested some of their new tunes in a series of low-key live shows up and down the east and west coasts. The results were suitably exciting (the NYC show was voted Gig of the Year by New York Magazine). Produced by: Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Futureheads), Ewan Pearson (mixer for Chemical Brothers, Depeche Mode and Gwen Stefani, on production duties for the first time) Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley). Amazon.ca The Rapture wasn't the first band to revisit the clanky dance-punk sounds of bands like PIL and Gang of Four. But with its DFA-produced debut, 2003's Echoes, and the accompanying underground hit, "House of Jealous Lovers," the Brooklyn quartet proved itself to be the most worthy. On its follow-up, the group makes a dramatic left turn with a new crew of producers (Ewan Pearson and Paul Epworth, plus a pair of tracks recorded with Danger Mouse of Gorillaz and Gnarlz Barkley fame) and a more sophisticated sound that yields pop gems like "Whoo! Alright Yeah… Uh Huh" and "The Devil." Reassuringly, the saxophones, cowbells and singer Luke Jenner's unintelligible yelps are still present, as is all the manic energy that goes along with it. --Aidin Vaziri
