Pitchfork: The Rapture Release "The Sound" as New Single

The Rapture Release "The Sound" as New Single
The Thermals hold it, the Dandy Warhols are it, the Sounds pluralize it

With Daft Punk shows, radio-liberating comps, and soccer anthems out of their way, the Rapture will get back to providing party-rocking fodder this fall with the latest DJ-targeted release on their label Throne of Blood.

It's the 12" single for Pieces of the People We Love's "The Sound", which features the original version in addition to two remixes of the track: one by Gucci Soundsystem's Ben Trucker and the other by Max Pask.

"The Sound" is out November 26 with the help of Amato Distribution.

Future Throne of Blood releases include the Zombi single "Sapphire" / "Long Mirrored Corridor" with an Escort remix, and a 12" from Dances With White Girls.

The Rapture have four dates scheduled on our fair continent this week, starting tonight, October 24, with a show in Monterrey, Mexico. The mini-tour ends with a Halloween show in NYC that also features the B-52's, the most unexpectedly perfect pairing we can think of at the moment.

01 The Sound (Ben Trucker's Back to 95 Mix)
02 The Sound (Max Pask Horror Show Mix)
