The Last Dinner Party 'Prelude To Ecstasy' by Harv Frost

Rob Ulitski - 17th Sept 2024

Following her videos for the band, Harv Frost draws us further into The Last Dinner Party's distinctive universe with a short film, comprising of four music videos for the group, set in a mysterious all-female arts and dance academy. 

Drawing influence from the likes of Argento's Suspiria and other 1970s masterpieces, Prelude To Ecstasy works both as a single film and individual promos for the tracks - including The Feminine Urge, which has already been released as a music video. 

As a whole, and within the school setting that reinforces a narrative (whether true or not) about the origins of the band, Harv Frost takes the opportunity for each bandmember to shine, and for them to exhibit their unusually close bond as a group.

And with Frost working with collaborators from previous videos, like DoP Natasha Duursma and production designer Furmaan Ahmed, there's strong thematic continuity with those projects. Once again, it's all about the passion, romance, melodrama and style, as well as the music, and with its marvellous execution Harv Frost and The Last Dinner Party have delivered a real treat for the band's fans.
