Vocals are a perfect fit for the band, whatshername has a great big noise/small band voice. Good as it is I doubt I'll play it loads as I've got a suspicion it might yield diminishing returns on repeat listens (it's an agreeably straightforward album), but it's immediately legit and I bet they're amazing live. Must listen: Literary Mind (which I already knew from somewhere. On here maybe, or perhaps Tidal played me an EP a while ago....unless it's a cover?)

There’s been a lot of hype about Beautiful Boy. I think it’s a shame the band don’t yet have the confidence to let this song just be what it is though - again, they build and layer instruments and intensity on top over and over until it crashes through the final chorus with no subtlety left. I reckon it would have hit harder if they’d kept this one low.

poprock wrote:You’ve all heard Nothing Matters by now, surely. It’s The Big One. It’s everything The Last Dinner Party are, thrown in your face at once, with a huge confident grin and a big ‘FUCK’ in the chorus. It’s one of the best pop songs in years. Maybe in decades. And it encapsulates everything this band is. It’s grand gestures, romance, confidence, and being in a gang that’s cooler than you. It’s beautiful.
