The Last Dinner Party have shared another single from their sophomore album.
Serving up a blend of gothic rock and baroque pop with swelling piano, strings and guitars, The Scythe serves as the second preview of 'From The Pyre', due out on October 17 via Island Records. Lead singer Abigail Morris explained the inspiration behind the song:
"This song began nine years ago, like a prophecy. I wrote it before I had known anything of grief or heartbreak, how a relationship ending feels exactly the same as that person dying.
"Once you know how it feels to lose someone, you enter a new realm from which you can never return. You’re trying to reach them telepathically through psychics or song lyrics (sometimes those two become the same), and sometimes they give you a reply."
"It can take nine years to realise you’re even grieving at all but once you do, you see them everywhere – in a robin, in a street fox, in a Wim Wenders film. ‘The Scythe’ comes for everyone, and you shouldn’t be afraid about what’s on the other side."
The two-time BRIT Award-winning London band introduced the follow-up to 2024's 'Prelude To Ecstasy' in July with the single This Is The Killer Speaking.
They'll celebrate the album's release with a series of sold-out outstore dates between October 15 and 23.
Earlier this week, the band announced an extensive headline tour that'll cover the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, starting this autumn and running through to next spring. Tickets for all shows go on general sale at 10am local time next Friday (September 12).
