The Last Dinner Party on the album: "This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. `The Pyre' itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light. It feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy, a little metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves. The songs are character driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the apocalypse. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss the way our experiences felt, giving each the emotional weight it deserves." Standard black vinyl with printed inner sleeve and lyric sheet.
