Embassy CafΘ is house music laid bare - rough, ready and romantic. ItÆs the early 90s
house record Australia never had - an antipodean take on classic albums such as Dream
2 Science and Amnesia.
Starting out as raw cassette tape demos, this collaborative project blends Andras
FoxÆ deep house productions with the sensual vocals of Oscar S. Thorn. Mixing phrases
or straight cuts from experimental jamÆs with lush rhythm tracks, Embassy CafΘ is a
surprising mix of dance floor material alongside slow 80s funk grooves.
Recorded live with minimal overdubs, the resulting album tracks are full of the
mistakes, noises and distortions that made the early recordings by artists like Virgo
Four so appealing. Oscar S. ThornÆs vocals recall a time when house was the mainstay
of a marginalized, black, queer audience.
