"Sister Saviour" comes off Echoes, the Rapture's first full-length, which DFA and Output put out in the UK on September 8, 2003. The band had left San Francisco for New York in 1999 and fallen in with James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy, the DFA pair who took their sweet time persuading them that a dance record wouldn't cost them their fans.
On Echoes the partnership runs all the way through. The writing credit is split between DFA and the Rapture, and so is the production, with the band as co-producers, while Murphy and Goldsworthy recorded and mixed the track at their own Plantain Recording House in New York. It's jittery, sweaty and built for a room with the lights turned down, the sound of a rock band learning to love the dancefloor.
