The Last Dinner Party arrived fully formed and dressed for the ball: a London five-piece, formed in 2021 and first called simply the Dinner Party, trading in art rock and baroque pop with the theatrical flourish of a costume drama. Abigail Morris sings lead, Lizzie Mayland plays guitar and sings, Emily Roberts switches between lead guitar, mandolin and flute, Georgia Davies holds down the bass and Aurora Nishevci handles keyboards and vocals. There's no permanent drummer; hired hands fill the stool on the road.
Island Records signed them before they had released anything, and the debut single, "Nothing Matters", landed in April 2023 with its swooning chorus and a pulse that builds to a glorious boil. By the end of that year they'd picked up the Brit Award for Rising Star, and the BBC's Sound of 2024 poll followed. Prelude to Ecstasy, released in February 2024, went straight to number one in the UK, with the biggest first-week sales for any debut album there in more than nine years, and later got a Mercury Prize nomination. "Sinner", "The Feminine Urge" and "My Lady of Mercy" showed off the band's taste for melodrama, grandeur and sly wit.
From the Pyre came out in October 2025 and reached number two at home, with "This Is The Killer Speaking" snarling out in front. Big gestures, bigger hooks: the second act proves the first wasn't a fluke.
