Abby//Last Dinner Party, Prelude to Ecstasy

The Album Files

"From the moment I heard My Lady of Mercy I knew 'The Last Dinner Party' was a band I wanted to introduce to this podcast. The over-the-top, grandiose, almost theatrical nature of the band, not just their music but also their overall aesthetic, was attractive from the first music video and the story behind the band and the rapid trajectory of their last two years makes the whole picture all the more impressive. When I'd finally heard the whole album there was no doubt in my mind I would pitch it, it was only a matter of when." - Abby
