The Rapture return with a new single ‘Sail Away’ taken from their acclaimed third album ‘In The Grace Of Your Love’ on January 9th 2012 through DFA Records. It follows on from dancefloor smash ‘How Deep Is Your Love?’ and will be released as a special remix EP featuring new mixes courtesy of Aeroplane, Cosmic Kids & Cut Copy. Described by The Times as “euphoric widescreen pop” Sail Away has quickly become a live favourite amongst fans thanks to its hypnotic and anthemic refrain.
Following on from their recent triumphant UK tour The Rapture have just announced details of a pair of shows in Oxford & London in May 2012. The dates are part of a wider world tour that takes in South America, Japan, Australia and Europe. UK shows are as follows:
