<a href="/tags/the-last-dinner-party">The Last Dinner Party</a> extend the world of ‘From The Pyre’ with ‘Knocking At The Sky’, a final tale from the album’s deluxe edition. The song transports the band’s theatrical storytelling into a mythic version of Los Angeles where ambition, glamour and danger move through the same plastic landscape. Hollywood becomes a modern fairy tale populated by performers who see themselves as heroes while quietly suspecting somebody else may have been given the better script. The band’s dramatic arrangements and literary instincts are well suited to that setting.
‘Knocking At The Sky’ feels grand, enchanted and slightly sinister, continuing an era built around storytelling rather than ordinary diary entries. It also demonstrates why <a href="/tags/the-last-dinner-party">The Last Dinner Party</a> have connected so strongly with listeners: they are willing to be extravagant without apologising for it. In a world of muted branding and algorithm-approved minimalism, sometimes the correct response is another velvet curtain, several candles and a chorus wearing very impractical sleeves.
