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.

lyrics

07. Slysið
Music by Hamilton
Lyric by Hamilton

There’s been an accident
Out on the road
And the road was taken back
By the waters we’ll go
And the fire told us off
“No-one belongs here, you know”
Call off the chancellor
No-one has to know

Oh my God
What have we done?
We drove right off
And lost the sun
The snow falls down
The snow builds up
And all we’ve got
Is all I’ve found

“You built a road on my back
What a pathetic friend
A concrete strap to hold me down
I shake it off with my hands
I know you’ll come back around
And we’ll go through this again”

There’s been an accident
Out on the road
And the road was taken back
By the waters we’ll go
And the fire told us off
“No-one belongs here, you know”
Call off the chancellor
No-one has to know

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

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
