How the Music Critic Score works
Buy Ambulance Ltd from Amazon
At last, some up-and-coming New Yorkers whose music cannot be described as "angular" and whose wardrobe does not bulge with skinny ties. They may be based in Brooklyn but Ambulance Ltd share with Germany's Ulrich Schnauss and Sweden's Radio Dept a belief that shoegazing, the much-maligned, effects-heavy rock favoured by chaps from the Home Counties in the early 1990s, was a good idea after all. Swim is a dreamy epic which will have some listeners digging out their Chapterhouse albums and opening track Yoga Means Union is one long, glorious crescendo, worthy of early Spiritualized.
