A strange game I’ve never heard of, called something like Grand Theft Auto IV, apparently has radio stations that give you a soundtrack for the game’s noble pursuits (I’d imagine rescuing princesses and things of that ilk). And on one radio station, called Radio Broker, you can hear “No Sex for Ben,” a new track by New York dance-punks The Rapture. This track celebrating celibacy for Ben, can now be heard over at The Rapture’s MySpace.
The track is produced by some character named Timbaland, who has The Rapture sounding like his normal production for the likes of Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, instead of the loose feel of their past two albums. “No Sex for Ben” is still pretty solid, and it’s the first track the band have put out in nearly two years.
