The Last Dinner Party Lace Up Their Ballet Shoes In New Music Video for ‘The Feminine Urge’
The Last Dinner Party released their new music video for “The Feminine Urge” this morning.
With stunning visuals as the backdrop for an otherwise devastating but relatable message, the British indie rock band’s latest music video, directed by Harv Frost, features each member carrying out a performance, symbolizing the cyclical nature of the stifling expectations placed upon women in society. The band members eventually liberate themselves via individual acts of subtle rebellion and enjoyment of their new feelings of freedom, even if it’s temporary.
Fans suspect both Frost and the band are using the video to hint at an upcoming film or visual album. They referred to it as “Act One: The Feminine Urge Taken From the Film, Prelude to Ecstasy” on social media.
“The Feminine Urge” is the fourth track on their debut album “Prelude to Ecstasy.” The band released the album back in February.
“It’s about feminine generational trauma, my feelings about being a woman, and that beautiful, horrible realisation that your mother is also a human who’s mortal, fallible and in pain,” lead singer Abigail Morris explained in an interview with Dork.
Rising Popularity- The Last Dinner Party Takes to the Festival Stage
The band has had a big year so far. Their popularity is skyrocketing along with a successful festival run. So far, they have played TRNSMT Festival, Glastonbury Festival, Coachella and Primavera Sound Porto among others. Fuji Rock Festival, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Reading and Leeds music festivals are just some of their scheduled appearances this summer.
Fans can catch the band at an upcoming festival gig or on their upcoming U.K., Ireland and Europe tours. Tickets are available here.
The Last Dinner Party attracted the attention of Generation Z with their hit single “Nothing Matters.” Younger audiences were also drawn into the distinct gothic, romantic maximalist style reflected in both their music and wardrobe. Fans enjoy emulating the band members’ fashion choices and can expect the fun to continue for the foreseeable future.
