In the Grace of Your Love by The Rapture

In the Grace of Your Love, the Rapture's third studio album, arrived in September 2011, their first in five years and a homecoming to DFA Records after a stint with Universal. It's also the first without bassist Mattie Safer, whose harmonies with Luke Jenner had been part of the band's signature. What's left is the core trio, Jenner on vocals and guitar, Vito Roccoforte on drums and Gabriel Andruzzi on keys, bass and sax, and a band that had nearly come apart when Jenner walked out in 2008 before returning eight months later.

The dance-rock engine still runs, all disco pulse and post-punk twitch, and a title like this one fits a band that has said its music draws on Christian themes. The cover carries a photo of Jenner's father. "How Deep is Your Love" is the track that made the countdowns. By 2014, word got out that the Rapture had quietly split.
