Last Dinner Party - Prelude To Ecstasy (LP)

The debut album from The Last Dinner Party. Yes, there are corsets, there is lace and velvet, stockings, suspenders and synchronized clapping, but at the core of this band there are luscious world-building pop songs that sound as big as a universe and encompass the universality of human emotion. Fittingly recorded in a converted church with the help of star producer James Ford in North London, Prelude To Ecstasy is both the closing of an introductory chapter and the opening of the next. The Last Dinner Party? Believe the hype.
