Three reasons to be happy: The Rapture announced a new album this week and a return to their old label DFA, and, as a semi-unrelated appetizer, the band's multi-instrumentalist, Gabriel Andruzzi, released a great mix for the label. Andruzzi made the mix about a month ago, and though he's a little hazy on what, exactly, he was thinking when he made it, he does know that it was inspired by the poet Kabir and "it should be listened to loud, and I would hope the listener would have a predilection towards dancing, either with friends or while cleaning the house or brushing one's teeth." You heard the man, get to it!
