The Last Dinner Party – The Pyre
“This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate—a place of violence and destruction, but also regeneration, passion, and light,” the band explains.
More raw and earthy than before, The Pyre is layered with mythic and metatextual symbolism. The songs are character-driven but deeply personal, transforming everyday heartbreak into epic sagas—where being ghosted becomes a Western standoff and emotional fallout echoes through apocalyptic visions.
Lyrically, the album conjures vivid imagery: rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. Each moment is steeped in metaphor and emotional intensity, offering a powerful, theatrical listen that reflects the surreal weight of real-life experience.
Pressed on neon pink vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and lyric sheet.
