In January 2004, the Rapture toured with Franz Ferdinand on the NME Awards Tour. In the wake of the success of 'House of Jealous Lovers', The Rapture opened for the Sex Pistols in a football stadium in England, and underwent a large major bidding war eventually signing with Vertigo Records out of the UK and Strummer Records (a Gary Gersh Label) both owned by Universal Music. Multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Andruzzi, who is also Safer's cousin, joined the band full-time after the record was completed to help tour. The album secured two Top 40 singles in the UK and also was met with critical acclaim, being awarded Album of the Year by and runner up in NME only to the White Stripes. With the help of the DFA production team, the band released 'House of Jealous Lovers' in 2002 and eventually released their first full-length album Echoes. Murphy and Goldworthy took a long time to persuade the band to work together because of a concern that making a dance song would alienate their fans. They met James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy of DFA Records at one of their first performances in New York. The Rapture moved from San Francisco to New York in 1999 and wrote ' House of Jealous Lovers' the following year.
