The Embassy are far too often overlooked in the UK. They more or less engineered the Göteborg scene, and have been hugely important in shaping the Swedish independent music landscape over the past 10 years. Their influence is second to none. So, to help those who haven’t been paying attention to catch up, Fredrik Lindson and Torbjörn Håkansson have announced a retrospective release, Life In the Trenches, The Other Side of 2001-2011.

The album compiles a bunch of rarities from the duo’s career, among them b-sides and previously unreleased tracks. Life In the Trenches, The Other Side of 2001-2011 will be released through Service in September. To get better acquainted with the genius of The Embassy, their entire back catalogue is available to stream via the Service website.
