i hope we stay thick as thieves, butter and bread, pillars of colonial homes

â™«Â Ambassadors – Unconsolable

Who:Â Brothers Sam & Casey + Noah and Adam
What:Â “Soul infected indie rock”, like Cold War Kids, White Rabbits
Where: Brooklyn, NY + FacebookÂ / Bandcamp / Amazon
When: 8-track EP Litost is out now.
Why: As a last minute addition to our SXSW lineup Ambassadors didn’t get a post in here before their set but its worthÂ circlingÂ back to this tense slow rocker that builds to handclap heaven. These guys brought the rock Saturday night and have a few other great jams up on their Bandcamp. Some even free! I recommend “Weight/Lightness” for a bit of boozy big-city heartbreak.
