Pitchfork: The Rapture Set to Storm North America

Whoo! Alright - Yeah...Uh Huh. The Rapture have finally announced their first North American tour since 2004. Get yourself into it, people.

The stint is, of course, in support of the band's upcoming Pieces of the People We Love, due September 12 via Motown/Universal (September 18 on Vertigo in the UK).

The boys will first take care of a hometown NYC instore appearance and a festival-heavy European trek. Then it's back across the pond to take on North America alongside openers the Presets.
