Packaged in a digipack, with a disc donning the striking neon sign displaying the album title - From The Pyre. The package is finished off with a sticker.The Last Dinner Party on the new album: 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 songs are character driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the apocalypse. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss the way our experiences felt, giving each the emotional weight it deserves.This record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime landscape rather than seated an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.1. Agnus Dei2. Count The Ways3. Second Best4. This Is The Killer Speaking5. Rifle6. Woman Is A Tree7.
