[MV]The Rapture - House of Jealous Lovers

The Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers
by The-Rapture

진땀 빼는 거라지-펑크 기그(garage-punk gig)를 촬영한 후, 샤이놀라 감독은 80년대 고무적이었던 DIY 밴드 전단지와 유사한 비주얼 이미지를 잘라 붙였다. 모든 샷은 250개 이상의 전단지들로부터 디자인되었고, 가위와 풀로 오려 붙였으며, 프레임별로 직접 수작업한 레이아웃과 글자를 덧붙였다(베타 SP로 촬영, 애프터 이펙트, 종이, 가위와 풀 사용).

이 밴드가 궁금하여 몇몇 영문 기사를 검색하였더니, 롤링스톤 쪽에서 별 세개를 주면서 다음과 같은 기사를 실었다.


The Rapture stand tall among New York's latest wave of art-damaged punk-disco bands. People like to compare these groups to early-Nineties British rave rockers. But the comparison doesn't work, because New York bands such as the Rapture, the Liars and !!! actually rock, while the Happy Mondays sucked, Jesus Jones sucked monkeys, and EMF sucked gorillas through a screen door. The key is rhythm: The acid-house bands got all soft and soggy, while the Rapture go for lean, jagged beats, all forward momentum and nervous aggression. Their long-awaited album Echoes is the big payback, fusing mean guitars and disco trance for a ferocious new breed of punk funk.
A few years ago, the Rapture were just your basic big-hair Cure tribute band. But then they hooked up with New York's ace production team DFA -- James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy -- who funked them up something fierce. Under DFA's wing, the Rapture blew up with their amazing indie club hits "House of Jealous Lovers" (which is included here) and "Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks" (which isn't). The music is all doom and gloom: Luke Jenner wails his gothed-out love mantras over hypnotic synth beats, slashing guitar, bass rumbles and the occasional cowbell solo. It adds up to a psychotically shredded sound. The Big Star tribute ballad "Love Is All" is a surprise stroke, and percussionist Gabe Andruzzi proves himself one of the most influential cowbell players of our time, despite his unfortunate penchant for wearing head scarves onstage. It's the sound of the crowd, circa 2003: Give the drummer some, people, but don't forget to save a little love for the cowbell player.
