    Who Put The Ass In Embassy?!
  • This collection of single-only tracks, b-sides and a few not available elsewhere makes for a solid album in its own right.

    In the words of Marc Hogan, Pitchfork:
    ”Gothenburg's indie pop scene was now run by mysterious pranksters all too happy to tie the already thin line between sincerity and artifice up in sailing knots.”
    (…)
    Slick craftsmanship? Raw expression? The Embassy reinforce how moot such questions can be.
    (…)
    Life in the Trenches rarely keeps its simple pleasures as simple as they may at first appear. If these guys were handing out Halloween candy, you'd check it for syringes.”


    Make sure to watch Calle Magnell’s video for Puttgarden. ”…the open-plan office extends like an endless desert in which there are no walls of your own to touch."

    The album artwork is a wonderful early large acrylic painting by Linnea Rygaard.
