News to me: Dance Punk advocates The Rapture have teamed up with Danger Mouse (pssh...who hasn't?) for their new album! Here's the first leaked single:
[MP3] The Rapture - W.A.Y.U.H.
Umm...Talking Heads much? Jeeyayysus... I mean, influence is one thing, but this is down right theft... I can't think of the name of the song, but isn't there a TH song that's almost exactly the same thing? Anyway, doesn't change the fact that this is a good song. I wasn't too much of an Echoes fanatic, but I really like what I hear so far... I guess a little Danger Mouse does the body good.
Check out more from The Rapture at the Hype Machine.
[edit: Band requested I take the song down, sorry]

i like.
"Cities" is the Talking Heads song you're thinking of...
its OK i guess. maybe (definitely) a few listens will reveal more.
Nice. Thanks.

ok, so the rapture song is fun, but if you want something similar but original, check out the hilotrons

paul epworth is producing their new album, i wonder if this is a one-off track with danger mouse?
not neccessarily like cities. It reminds me of a bunch of Talking Heads shit but not in total ripoff sort of way. more of a homage to compass point. although it does have that fade up intro???
Nuh uh I'm gonna say "The Great Curve"
The song I believe you think it is ripping off is"THE GREAT CURVE", track 4 off of "Remain In Light"... and it rips off fairly specifically the polyrhythms and the guitar line.
At least, I think...
i still have it up...and a wierd anonymous poster claims to have produced the track...not DM, but Phones and Ewan.

the bass line sounds like "What a Day That Was" from David Byrne's Catherine Wheel... but Talking Heads did play it live on Stop Making Sense
HI - You're all wrong. The ripped off song is I Zimbra from Fear of Music. The opening is identical. I'm an old fart and Heads fan.....
