Speaking about ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’ in a press statement, The Last Dinner Party said: “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 archaeology 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.”

The band also spoke to NME about the creative process in their recent cover interview. “Our whole mission statement is very theatrical,” said frontwoman Abigail Morris. “We love being intentional and indulgent. I mean, we have a composer! We want to flex that!”

The band are also due to perform a sold out show at London’s Roundhouse on the eve of the album’s release this Thursday (February 1).

In other news from The Last Dinner Party, the band recently revealed that Courtney Love helped them censor their ‘Nothing Matters’ lyrics for radio.
