New Music: This Is The Killer Speaking

            

The Last Dinner Party, shares the video of their first release from their sophomore album, "This Is The Killer Speaking". It marks the band’s eighth collaboration with director Harv Frost, who is also behind the band’s previous music videos, including the short film ’Prelude to Ecstacy’, a compilation of four music videos released last year. Similar to ‘Prelude’s’ nods to Giallo films such as Suspiria and Profondo Rosso, dark fantasy features front and centre in "This Is The Killer Speaking", with scenes of centaur women and a Jack the Ripper-esque figure alternating with the band's raucous performance in a neon-soaked saloon. "With this one we wanted to create a dark fantasy western set in the bustling streets of London's iconic Soho"  explains Harv. "I was heavily inspired by spaghetti westerns and particular Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy, but wanted to give it a noir feeling in both the exteriors and the interior scenes - going full neo-noir with the interior bar sequences to give the whole thing its own identity. From the start it was all about creating a world in which the fans could step back into, like pages of a story book." "This Is The Killer Speaking" is the first track to be released from The Last Dinner Party’s sophomore album From The Pyre, which they say has been heavily influenced by the conscious mythologising of real-life events. "This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them” explains the band. "
