The Last Dinner Party Announce Their Second Album ‘From The Pyre’
The Last Dinner Party have announced the details of their second album, ‘From The Pyre’.
The lead single ‘This Is The Killer Speaking’ is available now and you can watch the official music video in this article.
The upcoming album follows on from the critically acclaimed debut LP, ‘Prelude to Ecstasy’, which arrived in 2023 and saw the band go on to win two BRIT Awards. The album will be released on Friday 17th October 2025 on Island Records and is available for pre-order now.
The band headed into the studio in early 2025 and began recording alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Markus Dravs (Wolf Alice, Florence + The Machine, Björk).
“This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them,” the band have explained. “‘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.”
They continued: “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 at an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.”
