In Their Words: “The Last Dance is an apocalyptic dance track woven with timely wisdom. The juxtaposition of dancing along to the beat while facing certain doom is what the single is all about. Jesse Phillips originally composed the beat and bassline of this track that perfectly captured the feeling of accepting heavy subject matter while simultaneously radiating effusive joy. It encapsulates the beauty of our creative process β examining heavy topics in a fun and experimental way. Though the world is falling in on us, might as well laugh about it, rather than cry. This is a stripped-down performance of that song which is always an adventure.” — Paul Janeway of St. Paul & The Broken Bones
