Ambulance LTD: “Stay Tuned” (2004)
Although Spanish Harlem, New York band Ambulance LTD (pronounced “el tee dee”) apparently still exist, they’ve been prevented from releasing new material since 2006 due to their label, TVT, filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Also affected were labelmates Polyphonic Spree, in case you wondered where they’ve been too (I thought not.)
“Stay Tuned” is a standout from their 2004 debut. The band’s sound–they’re commonly categorized as “dream pop”–is very close to that of one of my favorite indie pop bands, Winterpills (see: Recommended Albums #10).
