The Last Dinner Party has marked their debut appearance on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge with an enchanting cover of Troye Sivan’s 2023 single “One Of Your Girls.” The London-based band also performed a live version of their debut single “Nothing Matters” during the station’s afternoon session. Frontwoman Abigail Morris explained that the choice to cover Sivan’s single was due to bassist Georgia Davies’ affinity with the Australian artist. The Last Dinner Party’s baroque-pop take on the song provides a haunting and euphoric experience, one that has already impressed fans and listeners.
Following the performance, The Last Dinner Party spoke to Radio 1 about their debut album, Prelude To Ecstasy, that was released last Friday. The band shared how they indulged in “the extremes of emotion and sound” in the album, providing listeners with a little feast of flamboyant and fun melodies. Prelude To Ecstasy received a four-star rating on its review by NME, complementing the album’s unique style and fantastic songs.
