Joshua Hotel, The - Rapture Party

The Joshua Hotel's debut album, Rapture Party, offers a last dance at the twilight of millennial youth. It is a reflection on growing up in a world that has since changed beyond recognition, chronicling the personal navigation of love, friendship, sexuality, self-identity, mental illness and mortality within the volatile political and cultural landscape of the last 25 years.

Absorbing a broad range of musical influences across synth-pop, electronica, post-punk and art rock, these songs express as much a critique as they do a deep fondness and longing for the glory days of what now feels like the last generation to have had it pretty good when they were young.
