Established in the late '90s, The Rapture shook the music industry with their electrifying punk-dance music that was a breath of fresh air during a somewhat stagnant period of rock music. These genre-benders were pioneers in mixing post-punk revival and electronic dance, creating an entirely new sound that music enthusiasts hadn't even realized they were craving at the time. The Rapture's debut album, 'Echoes', which was released in 2003, played a big role in revitalizing the indie rock and house music scene and provided the blueprint for many present-day indie bands.
They were also known for their visually arresting music videos. Perhaps the most memorable is the whimsical video clip for "House of Jealous Lovers", directed by Shynola, a collective known for their work with Radiohead. The music video was a bizarre mélange of kaleidoscopic images, which brought an edge to both the song and the band's overall image. Another interesting fact about The Rapture is their unlikely collaboration with supermodel Kate Moss who provided vocals for the track "Get Myself Into It". Folks, it's not every day that a supermodel struts into the recording studio to lay down some vocals for a punk-dance band, but when The Rapture invites, you just don't refuse! This declining-towards-quirky side of The Rapture resulted in a spontaneous and energetic image that turned many heads in the industry.
