WHAT IS A FLEXI-DISC? Developed in communist Russia through the pressing and distribution of (illegal) pop music on old X-Rays (called "Bones"), flexis have since come to embody a variety of products thinner than a normal vinyl record. Flexi-discs are a phonograph record made of a thin, flexible vinyl sheet with a moulded-in spiral stylus groove, designed to be playable on a normal record player.
The EMBASSYLIGHTS release is made up of 4 double sided flexi-discs that are housed between illustrations by Asad Pervaiz (with a cover collage by band member Laura Leif and friends Heather Kai Smith, Kali Urquhart, and Dallin Ursenbach) bound as a book. They are a strictly limited run and will be accompanied by a downloadable copy of the album.
Includes unlimited streaming of EMBASSYLIGHTS via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Music by Leif
Lyric by Leif
I don’t want this to be how cold I am
There is something so dark
Hidden by these white spaces
Underneath the drift of snow
So cold it’ll break your bones
Burn you up
I don’t know my way around
And I don’t speak the language
But I can feel there
Why are you walking here?
And what do you want?
And what are you hoping to find?
And what have you found?
Deep between the cliffs here
There was a slow tension
And it is in a central part
A part we’re in is so true
And there is something spirited
I found another station
There’s something true
Why are you walking here?
And what do you want?
And what are you looking for?
And what have you found?
Get out from this hard place
Get out quickly
Can you feel that lift?
I was so lucky to make these songs with friends from Canada and Iceland: Laura Leif, Prins Polo, Benni Hemm Hemm, Clinton St. John and Samantha Savage Smith. We had an international adventure indeed! woodpigeon
A project shared between myself and Kathryn Calder, Frontperson is something I'm terribly proud of. Singing and playing with Kathryn is such a joy, and I can't wait to make our next record together. woodpigeon
Laura Leif is such an inspiration and also a great friend. There's few people I enjoy playing or making music with, and this album is a true beauty I keep coming back to. Love! woodpigeon
Some of the most poignant and beautiful lyrics I've ever heard. "Well this world is a cold one but it takes one to know one" like ??? life changing oh my. "You confronted your sorrow like there was no tomorrow while the rest of the world only laughed." like I just love this song so much arristeus
