Buzzed for new British quintet The Last Dinner Party have released their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, today via Island. Now that it's out, you can stream the whole thing here. Today we also published our rave review of the album and you can revisit our interview with the band from last year.
stream the album below. Read our 9/10 review here. Also, read our May 2023 interview with The Last Dinner Party, which was possibly the band's first interview in an American publication. Also below are the band's upcoming tour dates.
Last Dinner Party is Abigail Morris (vocals), Georgia Davies (bass), Lizzie Mayland (guitar), Aurora Nishevci (keyboards) and Emily Roberts (lead guitar). Produced by James Ford Prelude to Ecstasy, as did all of the band's previous singles. Not only is he a member of Simian Mobile Disco and The Last Shadow Puppets, but as a producer he has worked with an impressive array of artists including Depeche Mode, Arctic Monkeys, Jessie Ware, Everything Everything, Gorillaz, HAIM, Florence + The Machine, Foals and Pet Shop Boys.
The Last Dinner Party collectively had this to say about their debut album in a previous press release: “Ecstasy is a pendulum that swings between the extremes of human emotion, from the ecstasy of passion to the supremacy of pain, and it's this idea which unites our album. This is an archeology of ourselves. you can dig our collective and individual experiences and influences through its web. We conjured guitars for their solos, made naked confessions straight from diary pages and called in an orchestra to bring our vision to life. It is our greatest honor and pride to present this offering to the world, it is everything we are.”
Last Dinner Party had a lot of buzz in their country based mainly on their live shows, but in April they released their debut single, “Nothing Matters”, via a music video. “Nothing Matters” was #1 on our song of the week list. Then in June they shared their second single, “Sinner,” as well as a video of them performing the song live. “Sinner” is back on the song of the week list. “My Lady of Mercy” was the band's third single, shared again via a music video and again a song of the week. When the album was announced, the band shared its fourth single, “On Your Side,” via a music video. “On Your Side” was also one of the songs of the week. They then shared another new song from it, “Caesar on a TV Screen”, via a music video. “Caesar on a TV Screen” was also one of the songs of the week.
