LP

Ambulance's debut LP shows exceptional range while being tied together by a sound perhaps best described as "subtly urgent." Some songs boast otherworldly vocals over propulsive guitars and handclaps, while others are creepers that build into harmony-filled crescendos that echo in your head all day long. Recorded with producer Jim Abbiss, whose credits include Björk and DJ Shadow. "There's beauty in simplicity -- and that's what Ambulance LTD is about. Their songs are a dreamy sketchbook of thoughts and emotions, but the music is insistently melodic, with poppy allusions to Neil Finn's best work but also to some '60s psychedelia." --Steve Morse, The Boston Globe
