pop 135 Posted January 30 So excited for this album we are so close! I have noticed they have been performing a few songs not on the album like Godzilla and Second Best. I wonder if they are saved for potential deluxe edition? They are so well managed so far I wouldn't be surprised if they have extra tracks prepared. Godzilla sounds amazing, I hope it gets a released. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful Loser 48,613 Posted February 1 9/10 review by Clash! https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/the-last-dinner-party-prelude-to-ecstasy/ Quote What’s the opposite of lacklustre? Is there a word for that, or is it just ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’? Because across the whole record, the most tangible, excellent quality is the sense that the band are doing the most. From the gorgeous, immersive overture that opens the record with motifs from the album’s most memorable moments arranged in crescendoing orchestral […] The Last Dinner Party draw up the red velvet curtain on ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’ with serious panache before tumbling headfirst into the expansive dark-pop of ‘Burn Alive’. The Last Dinner Party are unabashedly going for highbrow, greedily scattering literary references, historical characters, theoretical influences, poetic techniques and classical instrumentation across ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’. […] ‘The Feminine Urge’ takes its title from a meme used to describe actions that signpost a distinctive girlhood, and its lyrics take what is ostensibly silly little tweet format and turn it into a body-horror drama groaning under the pressures of said girlhood. ‘Beautiful Boy’, a piano lament a couple of tracks forward from ‘The Feminine Urge’ is a sort of antithesis, now referencing more body horror (‘The Green Ribbon’, a favourite of feminist storytellers) but spinning a yarn about gender envy and masculinity. 1 Quote LANABOARDS DEMOGRAPHICS SURVEY 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful Loser 48,613 Posted February 2 I listened to most of the album on my walk/while running some errands, I only have Mirror left to listen to but this album is truly baroque renaissance rock, and it’s their own little universe and I’m loving it! Gjuha sounded as special as it did when I heard it live in November, no idea what the words are but I’m sure I’ll find out sooner or later. I’ll have to listen to the album a few more times to properly take in the lyrics! Beautiful sound and inspirations, it’s a great album! I just wished the opening track was mixed a little differently, I’ve heard live orchestra recordings with horns sounding more bombastic and flutes more fluttering in the distance BUT I still think it’s wonderful. 2 Quote LANABOARDS DEMOGRAPHICS SURVEY 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honeyslow 5,906 Posted February 2 So now that I’ve listened to the full album I can say I really enjoyed Burn Alive and Gjuha from the new tracks! I think it’s a strong debut, it’s not easy to pull off an album that is unique and cohesive both sonically and lyrically but doesn’t feel repetitive or boring at any point despite that. TLDP is probably the most enthusiastic I’ve felt about a new artist in a long time! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLDP is probably the most enthusiastic I’ve felt about a new artist in a long time! I agree with all of the above! I realized that I had heard Burn Alive live too when I listened to it, but I kinda had a better experience now because I could hear the lyrics better, haha. Love it!! I have a feeling I might overplay it in a near future. 0 Quote LANABOARDS DEMOGRAPHICS SURVEY 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireffie 3,661 Posted February 2 I liked the album! Although I was expecting a bit more… I think they played it safe, I wish they kept more folk/medieval vibes. Other than that I’m excited to see where they’re headed next, I’m sure they’re gonna be huge! 1 Quote Dying by the hand of a foreign man, Happily Calling out my name in the summer rain, Ciao amore 13.04.2018 | 04.06.2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
