Gothenburg, Sweden’s The Embassy arrived in NYC off of a long overnight flight, and had to prepare in short order to close out the NYC Popfest 2010 with the last set of the night at Littlefield. The organizers were particularly proud of the coup of bringing the band over for this show, and the band returned the favor. Despite a vocal mix that was a bit high at times, The Embassy delivered a fun, upbeat set of pop-driven electronica, joking with the audience and keeping the energy up. Although they are long overdue for a new record (Tacking was released in 2006) they played material from all over their catalog, including the 2008 single “State08? and the 2009 single, “You Tend to Forget”.
I recorded this set from the same location as the other NYC Popfest recordings, with a stereo soundboard feed and the DPA microphones. As the vocals were a bit higher in the mix on this feed, I have emphasized a bit more of the audience recording to make a more balanced mix. You can now stream this entire show direct from nyctaper.com, so we hope you will take advantage of this fun new option. Enjoy!
