Free Music Notes for Ambulance Ltd
Free Music Review: Dreamy.
Hit: 5 Stars
On their first album, Ambulance LTD is attempting to find themselves on their self-titled debut. It doesn't take long. With sweet melodies, fantastic hooks and heartwarming harmonies, Ambulance LTD floats their way into the indie rock scene as a sophisticated band to be on the look.
Many of these tracks are drenched in a blend of Ambulance LTD's pop sensiblity and artisticness. They expertly use their influences on various tracks, from "Heavy Lifting" which channels early The Beatles to Elliott Smith with the lead singer's intimate vocals.
The album begins with "Yoga Means Union," which is a psychadelic track whose expert instrumentals would go great with a joint. The CD continues with the band's most accessible track, "Primitive," which served as their first single and was found on an American Eagle compilation. This track, however, does not give the listener a good taste of what Ambulance LTD is about in their indie pop approach. Nevertheless, "Primitive" is still a solid track.
"Anecdote" and "Heavy Lifting" go back a few decades with their 60's British pop influences in their fantastic melodies and chords. Something that bands slike Rooney attempted to accomplish but couldn't quite capture it.
"Michigan" goes for more of a folksy approach, but is still a success with its retro hooks.
"Stay Where You Are" is an alluring dreamrock gem and the star of the album. "Sugar Pill" is one of the album's heavier tracks, but is still a beauty. Contrary to the previous song, the album continues with the light and very relaxing "Ophelia," which will surprise you with its lyrical depth.
The track's final song, "Young Urban," shows a very jam band-esque side of Ambulance LTD. Like Phish and other pot-friendly bands, this album will take you out of your surroundings and put you in an intimate spot where it is just you and the dreamlike music of this talented band.
Granted, Ambulance LTD's album is nothing groundbreaking, but take it for what it is. An inoffensive indie pop album. An excellent and calculated inoffensive indie pop album.
