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.
Written in the Scottish Highlands, recorded on the West Coast in Largs and pressed on vinyl in East Lothian. Rapture Party was mixed and mastered by Jason Shaw and Fuzz Face Studios and is released by Last Night From Glasgow.
