The Rapture Talk About New Album

The Rapture, remember them? Having seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet for the last 18 months they are set to return, maybe.

As Gigwise reported last month they are currently in the process of recording a new album that they hope to release next summer but it seems it ain’t going all that well.

Posting on the bands official website bassist Mattie Safer wrote on the future of the band: “Well to be honest, the answers are still vague. No, definitely no break up. New album, and singles… well we’re still working on it.”

“The exact timeline remains uncertain. We ARE working hard and writing and recording 5 days a week, but, it’s taking a bit longer than expected. We are happy with the new music though, and we are making every effort on our end to get the stuff ready to go.”

He went on to say: “Like I said, it’s vague, but it’s positive. As for touring and shows… any sort of long tours are out of the picture until this album gets closer to lift off.”

They do plan to play two shows in Los Angeles this December, other than that its looks like we may have to wait a little bit longer for more Rapture fun.
