Album Review of "From the Pyre" by The Last Dinner Party (7/10)

Island Records
Producer: Markus Dravs

The Last Dinner Party let their creativity run wild on their sophomore album From the Pyre. The album is an interesting collection of character driven stories. These stories dramatically come to life through the theatrical glam rock arrangements of tracks like “This is the Killer Speaking” and “Rifle.” Abigail Morris’ powerhouse vocals are another highlight, as her vocal tone is haunting and charming. From the Pyre is an album you want to sink your teeth into and dissect track by track. Although the songs aren’t immediately catchy as the material in their debut, the band’s ambition is admirable.
