A portrait of disorientation and dissolution, “The Embassy” speaks in the language of broken telephone lines and faint radio transmissions from somewhere in a distant future-past. It drifts through ferries, ports, trains, and remote broadcast dead zones, traversing themes of missed connections and fractured communication. But those who listen closely will find that, underneath the desolation, there’s a shimmering optimism that one day, someone will answer the call.
Produced by Bailey Kislak alongside Luc Bokor-Smith and Fab Dupont, “The Embassy” is a dramatic expansion of Parlour Magic’s sound. Armed with a full band behind them, Kislak, Bokor-Smith, and Dupont push boldly towards a guitar-driven sound inspired by the energy of the band’s live performances on the 2024-25 “Saturn Return” tour. Additional production comes from Luca Chesney, Florian Stepper, and Oren Levin, with further contributions from Chris Blanchard and Erez Levin, and string arrangements by Kristine Kruta.
Parlour Magic will perform a special show at New York City’s Mercury Lounge on 6/4 to mark the release of the new album. More tour dates will be announced shortly.
“The Embassy” was recorded from April-December 2025 at Flux Studios in New York City, and Funkhaus in Berlin.
