Q&A: Nearly a year after their buzzy hit single, The Last Dinner Party releases debut album
In the last several decades, rock music has been declared dead countless times
LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the last several decades, rock music has been declared dead countless times. But the flame that animates the spirit of the genre always seems to reignite — even if it looks different than before.
The Last Dinner Party is the latest iteration of the trick candle that is rock ‘n’ roll — a band devoid of men and made up of Gen Z musicians so skilled in their crafts that conspiracy theories abound about the British group being an industry plant. Their first single, "Nothing Matters," continued to gain momentum for months after it came out last April, eventually hitting the Billboard adult alternative top 10.
Ahead of the release of their debut album, “Prelude to Ecstasy,” on Friday, lead singer Abigail Morris and guitarist Emily Roberts spoke with The Associated Press about everything from musical influences to embracing femininity in a traditionally male-dominated world. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.
