Prelude to Ecstasy is the debut album by the promising British indie-rock band The Last Dinner Party, formed in 2021 by Abigail Morris, Lizzie Mayland, Emily Roberts, Aurora Nishevci, Georgia Davies, and Casper Miles; five young artists who emerged on the international music scene to break with the established and serve as a role model for new generations.

In addition to their debut album, The Last Dinner Party presents themselves as a band and as a contemporary icon with a short film where, like an epic and with a melodramatic aesthetic peppered with passion, poetry and vindication, the London artists share and highlight their uniqueness and musical and artistic talent with the world.

With Prelude to Ecstasy, The Last Dinner Party, one of Britain's most in-demand and exciting bands, goes a step further, creating a world that complements their musical work through an imaginary with a strong romantic aesthetic replete with poetry and art with Victorian references to British Gothic painters, poets and novelists, positioning the band as one of the most promising with a more developed and identifiable aesthetic.

"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 Last Dinner Party.

This album by the London band, with its blend of sounds and nuances, characterized by the energy of the artists' youth, is one of the most powerful debuts in recent years, proving that rock is still very much alive.
