THE LAST DINNER PARTY RELEASE NEW ALBUM, ‘FROM THE PYRE’

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SECOND RECORD OUT NOW VIA ISLAND RECORDS

+ TOURING AUSTRALIA IN JANUARY

The Last Dinner Party are excited to share their second album, “From The Pyre”. The album is out today via

Island Records.

The London five-piece headed into the studio early 2025 with Grammy Award winning producer Markus

Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence & The Machine, Bjork) to start work on the follow-up to their number 1 debut

album, 2023’s Prelude to Ecstasy. From The Pyre is the sound of a band having a lot of fun rather than

feeling any innate pressure to follow-up on what was an explosively successful debut record. It’s also the

sound of a young band developing and maturing their songwriting together, as tight a unit as the endless

months out on the road pay testament to.

The Last Dinner Party on From The Pyre:

“This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an

allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration,

passion and light.

“The songs are character driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological

extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the

apocalypse. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and

blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss

the way our experiences felt, giving each the emotional weight it deserves.”

“This record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime

landscape rather than seated an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a

knowing look reflected back at ourselves.”

With two BRIT Awards to their name (including Breakthrough Artist earlier this year), and having sold out

virtually every show they played right across the globe (including three sold-out hometown shows at

London’s Eventim Apollo), The Last Dinner Party’s arrival and subsequent worldwide success was one of

the most thrilling introductions to a new British band in decades, and From The Pyre’s opening introduction

suggests that unparalleled success story shows no signs of relenting.

Following a year of sold-out shows around the globe, The Last Dinner Party are returning to Australia in

January 2026, with special guest Sir Chloe joining the tour for shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide,

Brisbane and Perth. Tickets for Australian tour dates are on sale now via secretsounds.com
