Perhaps even more than James Murphy, DFA artist Juan Maclean has pushed the label’s interest from it’s dance-punk roots to a housier nation.

Yesterday evening, The Rapture logged on to DFA’s USTREAM account for one of their live White Out Sessions. The band played their new album, In The Grace of Your Love, which is due out September 5th on DFA. The band then took some time to answer questions taken from Twitter live.
You can hear four new songs from ITGOYL on the stream archive—including the title track and the Talking Heads-esque “Roller Coaster,” for the next day or so, as well as the interview portion of the online event after the jump.
