"This Is the Killer Speaking" comes from From the Pyre, the Last Dinner Party's 2025 album, and it goes big in every direction at once. Markus Dravs produced it and Alan Moulder mixed it, and the credits read like a pit orchestra's payroll: violins, violas, cellos, French horns, trumpets, clarinets, flutes, trombone and tenor sax, all stacked around the band.

Abigail Morris takes the lead vocal, with Georgia Davies, Emily Roberts, Aurora Nishevci and L. Mayland piling on the harmonies. Davies plays bass, Roberts and Mayland play guitar, Nishevci sits at the piano and Casper Miles drums, and all six share the writing credit with James Ellis Ford. Theatrical, unashamedly maximal and built as a group effort from the ground up.
