You can head over to DFA’s soundcloud page to stream the full EP (embed code below too), which sees a digital release on January 17th. The Rapture is also playing Coachella on April 13 and 20, along with two additional tour dates with Justice in Oakland and Las Vegas.

Last month, The Rapture also shared the video for “Sail Away,” which is their first official music video in five years. The video follows the band on a fantasy-ride through the streets of Brooklyn, with Luke Jenner sailing the streets on a silver mylar pillow. And that’s not all- did we mention the magical conch shell and ram’s horn?!

DFA Records will also be announcing the remix contest winners for “How Deep Is Your Love?” by the end of January, along with a live DFA webcast.

Stay tuned for more news on The Rapture, coming soon!
