Vinyl Review: "Belly of the Whale" by Ambassador

Belly of the Whale

Centuries ago New Orleans and St. Louis were a part of the same territory, The Louisiana Territory.

Other parts of the nation that don't have that direct connection to France don't feel the way we do here. Online pundits make fun of St. Louis for being the Gateway To The West.

But, we're proud of our historical position. We still remember a time when St. Louis was the European's frontier.

A family of New Orleanians (who came directly from France) made the arduous trek north and founded The City of St. Louis.

Louisiana, we're still siblings. So, we don't still make our living on the fur trade and you're still making yours off of...wait..

What was the New Orleanian method of money making back in the old days? Well, if it wasn't terribly obvious, Amabassador is from Louisiana, Baton Rouge to be specific.

Those old connections though, they never really die. Though my family isn't native to St. Louis, their music still speaks to me via French back channels. (Also, I'm not French.)

Beer Thirty with Ambassador

Ambassador

There's a band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana called Ambassador.

On September 28th, they released their debut album, Belly of the Whale. (Vinyl review upcoming soon.)

They're a band that's all about different soundscapes and personal expression. They've been compared to both Pink Floyd and A Perfect Circle.

They self describe as a dark post-punk band. Seems to me that could be a little bit of everything. Check them out on BANDCAMP and say hi on FACEBOOK.

While you're getting that stream on, check out the beers they enjoy below!

It's time to head into the depths of Louisiana with Ambassador.

They're a dark post punk band that's influenced by several different styles of bands...included the vaunted Pink Floyd.

They've got a debut record called, Belly of the Whale that's dropping on 9/28/18.

You might want to check this record out if you're a fan of any type of music, based on the information I have. (I'm listening to the record  now.....)

You can get a preview of the record over at their BANDCAMP page. You can even pre-order that sweet, sweet vinyl.
