The Last Dinner Party have paired ‘Big Dog’ with a spoken word piece built from folklore and Bible verses

The Last Dinner Party have released their track 'Big Dog', accompanied by a companion spoken word piece called 'Come All You Beasts'.

Familiar to those who have caught the band live, the track sees the four-piece take their first production credit, working alongside Animesh Raval behind the desk. The accompanying poem is one the group typically deliver as an introduction to 'Big Dog' during their performances.

Speaking about the spoken word piece, Georgia Davies of the band shares, "'Come All You Beasts' was written as a way to introduce the folkloric and storytelling elements of From the Pyre to Big Dog. The themes of the song were interpolated with Bible verses, subverting prescriptive messages about women's safety. We have always been inspired by poetry and performance in all forms, so spoken word with improvisational accompaniment felt like a natural extension of our art."

Both pieces are drawn from second album 'From The Pyre', released through Island Records. Sessions for the record began in early 2025 with producer Markus Dravs at the helm, following the success of 2023 debut 'Prelude to Ecstasy'.

Elsewhere, further dates have been added to the band's run supporting Olivia Rodrigo across Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
