The Last Dinner Party joins host Raina Douris

At home in the UK, The Last Dinner Party has been accused of being “industry plants”. On an encore edition of the World Cafe, the band talks about that and some of the other outrageous claims that have been tossed around about them. They also share some of the high points of the last couple of years in their relatively quick rise to success. The Last Dinner Party has a new album out this month called From the Pyre, so today, hear rare acoustic versions of songs from their debut.
