The Embassy - Wearing Our Pop Art Hearts On Our Sleeves

1 Information
2 Flipside of a Memory
3 New Plans

Three tracks marking The Embassy’s excitingly uncertin position between their first album and the future.
The Embassy’s artwork is picturing a live situation with the least popular and least successful band coming of the Madchester scene. The liner note by Stefan Zachrisson reads a curious clue concerning the disappearence of The Embassy, written in 1924.
All this reflecting the complexes and paradoxes of a radical pop (in)activist duo, whose music seems to be more confidently relaxed, warm and generous the more the band is communicating in ambiguous codes.
The Embassy surely is the only band whose song titles have given name to at least three different record labels, by the way.
