The Last Dinner Party are pleased to share their first new music of 2024, with new single “Caesar On A TV Screen”. It precedes the release of the forthcoming debut album, Prelude To Ecstasy, out 2nd February via Island Records.
“Caesar On A TV Screen” is the sound of The Last Dinner Party proving why 2023’s most exciting new prospect were worthy of all the acclaim and attention, whilst setting themselves up for another explosive twelve months.
The new single combines all the elements that have garnered them this early platfbeorm; leftfield pop hooks, rock flourishes and a colourful sense of theatricality. It’s the sound of a band meaning every word they sing, and having the most fun in delivering it.
Watch the video for Caesar On A TV Screen below. It was directed alongside Harv Frost, who the band have previously worked with for the My Lady of Mercy video too.
Whilst no awards nor accolades should ever define an artist’s importance or relevance, they’re certainly a welcome ‘moment’ in joining the dots and helping to tell a story, and The Last Dinner Party concluded their introductory year being handed the BRIT’s Rising Star Award 2024 and heralded as Rolling Stone UK’s “Rising Stars” at their inaugural 2023 Awards too. The band will discover if they’ve been voted the BBC Sound of 2024 winners later this week.
The Last Dinner Party on their debut album: “Ecstasy is a pendulum which swings between the extremes of human emotion, from the ecstasy of passion to the sublimity of pain, and it is this concept which binds our album together. This is an archeology of ourselves; you can exhume our collective and individual experiences and influences from within its fabric. We exorcised guitars for their solos, laid bare confessions directly from diary pages, and summoned an orchestra to bring our vision to life.”
