This is not a tale about a gunslinger hero, nor is it
meant to cut your heart. It is not the pledge at last
year’s meeting of aficionados and it is not the
eulogy at a death-country funeral. This is the tale of
three storytellers who turned up their collars to the
cold night in the dead of winter. Clutching old cases
to their coats, they climbed the frozen stairwell to a
dusty room in an abandoned abattoir on the edge of
the city.
Over three long days and nights, they coaxed sounds
from the walls, ceiling and floors onto stacks of
tape, slowly giving life to what would become the
heart of the album. With the aid of basement stairwell
echoes and broken down work vans, the album
took its initial breath. The stories and sounds that
were captured and which you presently hold in your
hands, are the tales of AMBASSADOR.
AMBASSADOR is narrated in its entirety by Mark
Sasso, Casey Laforet and Stephen Pitkin.
Now this is the part where you ignore that old
western flickering on that old black and white in
front of you and let your living room be engulfed
in the swelling dust storm outside.
