The Last Dinner Party Talk Debut Album and Breakout Hit ‘Nothing Matters’: ‘There’s Something So Powerful About a Woman Saying “I Will F— You”’
London-born band the Last Dinner Party on long-awaited debut album 'Prelude to Ecstasy' and proving industry plant claims wrong.
Released in April of last year, the anthemic tune — complete with Kate Bush-esque vocals, an earworm hook and a killer guitar solo — is on Morris’ mind because of the group’s recent performances on the late-night show circuit. Their individual backgrounds melded together in a “magical, alchemic way,” as Morris puts it: she and Mayland had grown up in choir, Roberts is a trained jazz guitarist, Nishevci a composer and Davies a garage-rock band vet. Once the band announced its signing to Island Records and dropped “Nothing Matters” in April 2023, certain corners of the internet felt the Last Dinner Party had come out of nowhere and labeled them an “industry plant.” The oft-used term signifies an artist who presents as independent or self-made, but in reality has connections in high places.
