In episode seventeen of Skip’d, Rob & Mike uncork the velvet-draped debut from The Last Dinner Party — Prelude to Ecstasy — a genre-blurring, corset-loosening feast of baroque pop, glam-rock drama, and literary decadence. With harpsichords clashing against synths and choruses that sound like they were written for a gothic ballroom, this album doesn’t just ask to be listened to — it demands worship. From the operatic highs of “Caesar on a TV Screen” to the pulsing rage of “Sinner,” it’s a theatrical triumph that’s already redefining what a debut can be.

What’s inside:

• Track-by-track breakdown of standout moments like the ecstatic “My Lady of Mercy,” the swaggering “On Your Side,” and the haunting title track
• Exploration of the album’s core themes: divine femininity, emotional excess, and the power of performance as protest
• Reflections on how Prelude to Ecstasy channels Kate Bush, Bowie, and Florence into something fiercely fresh — plus Mike’s take on why theatricality is making a comeback in pop
