The Joshua Hotel - Rapture Party LP / CD / DL

The Pretentious Bit:

Written in the Scottish Highlands and recorded on the West Coast in Largs, 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.

The Factual Bit:

Mixed, mastered and co-produced by Jason Shaw at Fuzz Face Studios. The album also features additional vocals from the band’s long-time friend and collaborator Shanine Gallagher, who previously released music under her Ess_Gee moniker.

The Important Bit:

The debut album from The Joshua Hotel will be released on October 10th 2025 on Vinyl, CD and Lossless Download. The first 50 copies sold will be signed by the band and sent shortly after release date.
