Alt-Pop Darlings The Last Dinner Party Share Their New Single ‘Sinner’

Riding high after their debut Glastonbury performance, U.K. five-piece The Last Dinner Party has shared its second single, “Sinner.” Produced by frequent Arctic Monkeys collaborator James Ford, “Sinner” builds on the atmosphere the group introduced listeners to with their debut single, “Nothing Matters.” With punctuated vocals and dramatic hooks, the band has already established a clear identity.

Guitarist Lizzie Mayland reflected on “Sinner,” explaining: “‘Sinner’ is a story of self-acceptance, and the longing for the past and present self to become one. Born from a breakbeat drum sample, ‘Sinner’ is punctuated by ripping guitar lines and harmony-filled vocal breakdowns.” The single is accompanied by a live video, which shows the group performing the song in a spotlit empty banquet hall, dressed to the nines with a historic flair.

Since their first single release, the band has spent much of its time on the road, where it’ll continue to be for the rest of the year. Beyond Glastonbury, the group has performed opening slots for Florence and the Machine, and will continue its festival run with sets at Green Man, End of the Road, Latitude, and Reading & Leeds. By the time the summer season comes to an end, the baroque Brixton outfit will be heading out on a U.K. headlining tour, followed by an arena tour of the U.K. and Europe supporting Hozier.

Speaking to NME earlier this year, singer Abigail Morris reflected on their upcoming debut album; “It’s coming, you know, it’s alive. We did it in Church Studios in Crouch Hill, with James Ford, who’s a fucking wonderful, kind, talented man, who really just understood us in a way that no one else has musically. It was just a complete dream come true. There’s been so much intensity around us for so long, so it was nice to have that month of peace.”
