Who doesn't love a good doomsday song, particularly after the week America's had? Luckily, Miracle Sweepstakes' recently released LP, Turn Heel, contains a song entitled "Rapture," which will either absorb or exacerbate all of your anxieties–whichever you prefer, really. Either way, it'll make you feel slightly less alone.
On "Rapture," Miracle Sweepstakes take an amalgam of sounds and influences and combine them in a way that makes the song totally their own–something musicians often fall short of doing. The group manages to keep their sound familiar without being a copycat of any one particular band or style. This is something much older groups and artists struggle with, so to see such a well-crafted song come out of artists so young is incredibly impressive.
Of course, the subject matter is both timely and comforting; it's full of an inherently millennial angst while still being at minimum relatable to other generations. But it is, at its heart, a millennial, coming-of-age song, and it's a damn good one at that.
