New English EP
























So you have both of Amublance LTD's first two recordings and you spin them when you need to keep moving without shutting your brain off and they never let you down. Just solid New York rock fare. You've been watching for their next release and when it suddenly pops up on Emusic, you're all aflutter with anticipation. You tap your finger on the desk while the 7 tracks trickle in and then fire up your Grado's...

Then you get half way through the first track and you're sure something is wrong. You downloaded the wrong thing. This is probably an above average tribute to Mel Torme, but it sure as hellfire ain't Ambulance LTD...

I stopped three times and went searching for info on the tracklist to make sure I was listening to the right thing. It's like the band has skipped six albums into their own future and instantly immerged as a creature they would have otherwise evolved into.

There's country in here. And disco. It's smooth and croonie. It's awesome. It's so good, I can't wait for the LP to emerge.
