Sambassadeur debuted on Labrador in winter 2005 with the release of the "Between the Lines"-EP. The EP was followed by their self titled debut album later that year. The songs were all recorded at home which gave the production a primitive quality that labled them by some as being a lo-fi-twee act. This was never the bands intention.

If the cliché is that songs are like children, then Sambassadeur saw no purpose in stagnating in front of their home-computer while watching their kids being taken custody by those who didn't have the ability to, indeed, read between the lines and see through the understated surface of the songs. This called for some change.

The Ep "Coastal Affairs", relased in may 2006, marked the start of a development towards a more luxurious setting. Without loosing their enigmatic qualities, songs like "Kate" and "Marie" introduced a breeze of new confidence. The Sambassadeurs saw the oportunity to take things to even greater hights and returned to the scene in late august 2007 with "Subtle Changes". The first single of the upcoming album "Migration" and also the first Sambassadeur-song to feature a saxophone.

Three words to get you started on "Migration": Melodies, bitterness and some minor thievery. Now it's up to you to listen, draw your own conclusions and misinterpret. Have fun!
