Description

Still sealed so cant confirm the colour of the vinyl

The Embassy are a Swedish band from Gothenburg whose approach to indie pop proved hugely influential to bands like the Tough Alliance, Jens Lekman, and Air France. Life In The Trenches collects 13 hard-to-find-tracks, most of which haven’t appeared on an album and they hang together surprisingly well as a whole. This music’s vibrant lushness is most evident on the two newest tracks, the stoic strummer You Tend to Forget and loping fake-it-til-you-make-it manual St8, both 2009 singles. As I said Life In The Trenches features lots of non-album tracks so I recommend anyone into the band to get this album so you can hear these overlooked architects featuring some of the past decade’s best new sounds.
