The Last Dinner Party<\/strong><\/a> has released \u201cKnocking at the Sky,\u201d a new song that appears on the extended digital deluxe edition of their acclaimed second album, 2025\u2019s From The Pyre<\/em>. The track arrives alongside a music video directed by Sinclair Bryant, set in a hyper-stylized Los Angeles that\u2019s chock full of Hollywood noir references, slasher-film scream queens, and characters that would feel at home in both a Brothers Grimm tale and a John Waters film.<\/p>\n \u201cKnocking At The Sky\u201d holds a special significance to the British band: it was first performed live at Brixton Academy on the closing night of their sold-out UK tour in late 2025, and was the final track they recorded with producer Animesh Raval at Church Studios in Crouch End. \u201c\u2018Knocking At The Sky\u2019 is the final tale from The Pyre,\u201d the group shared in a statement. \u201dAfter creating an album about storytelling and world-building, we thought it apt to end this act with a story set in the sinister myth world itself: Los Angeles. Hollywood is the ultimate fairytale; the stakes are at surreal heights, the landscape is unruly and plastic, and it\u2019s populated with a cast of Grimm characters all striving and struggling at the center of their own hero\u2019s journey.\u201d<\/p>\n From The Pyre<\/em>, the follow-up to the band\u2019s chart-topping 2023 debut, Prelude To Ecstasy<\/em>, arrived last October on Island Records. The band worked on the LP with Grammy-winning producer Markus Dravs, known for his collaborations with Wolf Alice, Florence & The Machine, and Bj\u00f6rk. At the time of its release, the group described the record as a collection of character-driven but personal stories bound together by the concept of \u201cthe Pyre\u201d as a mythical place of destruction and renewal.\n<\/p>\n The deluxe edition also folds in two tracks shared earlier this year: \u201cBig Dog,\u201d a previously unreleased cut that has long been a staple of the band\u2019s live set, and its spoken-word companion piece \u201cCome All You Beasts.\u201d Bassist Georgia Davies has said the latter was written to weave the album\u2019s folkloric, storytelling threads into \u201cBig Dog\u201d by interpolating Bible verses and subverting prescriptive messages about women\u2019s safety.\n<\/p>\n In the months since From The Pyre<\/em>\u2018s release, the band has kept busy, touring extensively and playing a run of summer festival dates before heading back to the US in the fall for an arena tour supporting Sombr. In January and February 2027, they\u2019ll also join Olivia Rodrigo on the road for her \u201cUnraveled\u201d tour, playing an expanded run of ten shows each at Los Angeles\u2019s Intuit Dome and Brooklyn\u2019s Barclays Center.\n<\/p>\n
