アルバムデビュー前から
米国オルタナチャートなどで、既にランクインしており
そこそこ、いや、結構注目されていた感じ。
メディアの持ち上げもすごいし
ブラジル在住の評論家など、もう大騒ぎで...
先行の曲からすると、
アルバムがかなり出だしから壮大な作りになっており
驚いた。
第一印象、
なかなかすごいなぁと思いながら聴いていたのだが、
中盤から、これはアルバムとして
早めに一旦飽きる要素があるなぁという印象に変化。
そういったところは、
Florence + The Machine に似ているところがあるかもしれない。
If you were looking to understand the appeal of The Last Dinner Party, you could alight on the world which they conjure in their beguiling songs: a cocktail of gothic romance and sparkling opulence. Having been mainstays on the London live circuit following the pandemic, the five-piece swiftly landed a major label deal and have since continued to align their image and artistry, bringing silken ball gowns and a raucous energy to stages the world over. It’s as though they figured where they were going long before they got there.
In the months leading up to their debut LP ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’, their name has echoed around late night chat shows and festival lineups; yet the speed with which the band broke through has led to online discourse around their credentials, not too dissimilar to the conversations that were previously directed towards the rapid arrival of Wet Leg. Arguably, there is now an element of smoke and mirrors around a band whose mission appears to be fairly straightforward: “We imagined the kind of joyful act we’d want to see when we go out, and created our own ‘dream band’ from that,” vocalist Abigail Morris told NME last year.
