“Record shops were really important when I was growing up. It’s something that’s in my DNA. I think if we can keep record shops open for as long as possible, we owe it to the young people of this country.”

"For Record Store Day this year in April, we are gonna continue the IRL vinyl series by printing the the Actual Life Piano Lives to vinyl for the first time. This vinyl series is always gonna be limited pressings of live moments that felt particularly special and these are some of my favourite things we’ve done.


Buttttt we only ever made the piano lives for AL2 and AL3 and so many of you were asking for AL1, so 4 years after the original Actual Life album came out on Record Store Day in 2021, I’ve recorded the actual life 1 piano live a few weeks ago. We are working wit Vinyl Factory (who did all the other IRL vinyl) to produce something really special. The record will be available on 12th April for record store day in all the stores taking part.”


Also celebrating Record Store Day, get ready for titles from the likes of Beabadoobee, Charli XCX, Rachel Chinouriri, Confidence Man, The Cure, English Teacher, Michael Kiwanuka and RSD25 Ambassador Sam Fender. Also joining the lineup, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Lil Uzi Vert, Megan Thee Stallion, MJ Lenderman, and Post Malone will be releasing titles for music-lovers all over the UK.

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: THE LAST DINNER PARTY - FROM THE PYRE

October 1, 2025
From The Pyre is the second album from Brit Award winners, record shop favourites, and rising indie sensations, The Last Dinner Party. Coming off their Mercury Award–nominated Prelude to Ecstasy, the London-based five-piece are back, delivering theatrical indie rock that cements their place as one of the UK’s most exciting new bands. “It is our absolute delight to present our new album From The Pyre to the world,” the band say. “This record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime landscape rather than seated at an opulent table.” Although only a year has passed since their debut, the band have been cultivating these songs since their earliest rehearsals in 2020. Lead single Nothing Matters has been a staple of every setlist since their very first gig at the George Tavern. Reflecting on these early songs, the band say: “We have held, nurtured and fed these first songs for a long time, and in return they have flown us to heights and guided us on journeys once totally incomprehensible.” From The Pyre is a concept album, with character-driven stories bound by the allegorical world of ‘The Pyre’. Each track is imagined as part of a travelling medieval mystery play, with the band cast as its players. “This frame narrative felt like a way of visually representing our lives as a band, once again mythologising the everyday,” they explain. This month, indie record shops are stocking From The Pyre on exclusive Inferno 140g vinyl. With neon colours that echo the album cover, a 12x12” lyric sheet, and a collectible sticker, it’s a must for fans. So head to your local indie record shop and grab From The Pyre when it drops on 17th October - the Last Dinner Party’s second chapter of theatrical indie rock, perfect for vinyl lovers and anyone ready to dive into their mythic world!
