The Last Dinner Party unveil new single 'My Lady Of Mercy'

Following on from the release of their much-loved initial offerings 'Sinner' and 'Nothing Matters' earlier this year, The Last Dinner Party return once again to share a brand new single.

The new track 'My Lady Of Mercy' was produced by James Ford, and comes accompanied by a stunning new video, directed by the band alongside Harv Frost and Dora Paphides.

Speaking about the new release, they said, “My Lady of Mercy is about being a girl. A girl looking up at a painting of Joan of Arc for the first time and thinking that she looks so brave and so beautiful that she wants to kiss her. And maybe she also wants to kiss the girl who stands next to her in the school choir.

"We are expanding the world of The Last Dinner Party to encompass a darker, heavier atmosphere. The lyrics explore the anguish of a teenage crush that can only be described through the bloody, carnal language of religious experience, as the soundworld takes cues from Nine Inch Nails, PJ Harvey and Roxy Music.”
