SOLD-OUT U.S. HEADLINE TOUR
BEGINS 10/31 IN WASHINGTON D.C.
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS MOTHERMARY AND BRIGITTE CALLS ME BABY
The Last Dinner Party have unleashed their third track, “My Lady of Mercy” via Island Records following the widespread acclaim for their debut singles, “Sinner” and “Nothing Matters.”
Produced alongside James Ford, “My Lady of Mercy” can already be described as a live favorite. It’s darker toned than its predecessors, but at its heart remains what’s made The Last Dinner Party such an alluring proposition to date, a smartly crafted alt-rock song with appeal far beyond any genre-specifics. The monochromatic video was directed by the band alongside Harv Frost and Dora Paphides.
The Last Dinner Party on "My Lady Of Mercy": “My Lady of Mercy is about being a girl. A girl looking up at a painting of Joan of Arc for the first time and thinking that she looks so brave and so beautiful that she wants to kiss her. And maybe she also wants to kiss the girl who stands next to her in the school choir. We are expanding the world of The Last Dinner Party to encompass a darker, heavier atmosphere. The lyrics explore the anguish of a teenage crush that can only be described through the bloody, carnal language of religious experience, as the sound world takes cues from Nine Inch Nails, PJ Harvey, and Roxy Music.”
