The Last Dinner Party is performing at The Anthem on April 7th. In a recent feature on Polyester magazine, bassist Georgia Davis describes Tumblr as a teacher of the creative process; a place where “you could linger, collect, change your mind, reinvent, world-build, all in private and without having to explain yourself.” Logic doesn’t have to factor into curatorial combinations. You just put things next to each other and see what happens. The Last Dinner Party has clearly taken notes. Their sound is everything all at once, yet also deliberate: chant-like melodies, pianos that feel vaguely liturgical, and lyrics that treat heartbreak and mythology as the same category of disaster. They make art rock that sounds like it was assembled from a carefully curated mood board (which, in their case, it did); Victorian portraiture next to a breakup text, or candlelight next to feedback. Watching them live, get ready to feel everything at once, like that ‘organized mess’ in your room.
