With a slight name change (courtesy of Kamasi Washington’s Dinner Party return), a major label deal and some industry plant Twitter uproar, quite a lot has changed since we welcomed The Last Dinner Party to our monthly club night back in March of 2022. One constant from that evening however is that, now debut single, ‘Nothing Matters’ remains a banger. Ahead of an inevitable rise to big things, the band are on our cover and we discuss the aesthetic details that are so important to the band, handling social media accusations and how they’re aiming for the stars.
No strangers to So Young, Squid’s second album ‘O Monolith’ is now with us. Ahead of its release, Ollie and Anton welcomed our call to cover the use of the Fairlight sampler, the promotional game for single ‘Undergrowth’ and finding the balance between challenging subject matter and tackling the challenge.
