   About The Ambassadors of Sorrow
The Ambassadors of Sorrow are a core of two musician friends living somewhere small and wild in Cornwall. Believing in the beauty of sad songs, the Ambassadors weave tales of love, loss, longing and hazy memories... Their other musician friends sometimes join them -- when they can find them, that is. The Ambassadors have recently scored two independent films and supported A Hawk and a Hacksaw. 'Loathsome Food' is now available as a limited edition 7" single from kabukikore records, and the 'Loathsome Food EP' featuring four tracks is now live on iTunes for your downloading pleasure. Some say they sound like Julie London singing the songs of Johnny Cash. This pleases the Ambassadors of Sorrow.

Thank you for being our friend. We hope you can make it to the theremin festival in Lippstadt. It's going to be a great time.

(If you have any theremin playing friends, don't forget to tell them about this - they won't want to miss it.

Hi there Ambassadors

Well in an idle moment I decided to record a cover of Aerosmith’s classic power ballad ‘What It Takes’ (from their 1989 album Pump, also featuring such immortal cuts as ‘Young Lust’ and ‘Love In An Elevator’). This isn’t some kind of knowing, ironic cover like when a band does a Britney Spears song or something – I genuinely love the song (well, I used to anyway), although I have attempted to divest it of some of its undeniable cheesiness. Mind you there’s only so much you can do with lines like “Your love made me a prisoner, yes my heart’s been doin’ time”…

This will probably be up on the myspace page for only a short time as, technically speaking, we don’t have Aerosmith’s *actual* permission to use it. I’m also told this type of thing runs contrary to some kind of arcane myspace regulation…?

For the purposes of comparison here is the original in all its big-haired glory, complete with one of the greatest (by which I mean shittest) videos ever:

Hey there Ambassadors of Sorrow. Hope you are all well. Loathsome Food - what a tune!

We have a new song up, "Dogs" - a chilling tale of canine revenge. Unusually for a My Pilot song, it is quite up-tempo and even features a discernible tune. Check it out if you get a spare 3 minutes 40 seconds.

Cheers!

Hello Ambassadors of Sorrow

Hope you are well. 'I Mean This Chastely' - great stuff! Love it.

Given that current technological difficulties dictate that we can record no new music, a “new” old song has been posted. Just a demo really but if you like seven minute long, funereal slowcore dirges then you may just dig it. It’s called ‘This Desert Life’.

Love,
MP

Hiya Sorrowful ones,

Hope you are happy and producing music. Got any new music in the pipeline?

We have a couple of new ones on the site. Would be good to get your opinion.

Hi Ambassadors of Sorrow,

Hope you are all fine and dandy. Just thought you might like to know there are four new songs available for your listening and/or downloading pleasure on our myspace page. Magic darts!

Thanks

Thank you for finding me in this sea of sounds! I am your new fan and love your retro feel. I just watched the film "A Man & A Woman" - your songs seem like they could be an alternative soundtrack.

Plus - Cornwall is the best place in the world. I used to go on holiday there as a girl - we were near Padstow. No doubt the atmosphere there lends to your ethereal divine melancholy.

All the best ~ Elizabeth
