American indie rock band from New York City; fronted by Marcus Congleton; debut album titled LP released in 2004 (US); known for the New English EP (2006) and a sound that combines ’60s/’70s/’80s influences.

Two reviews look at Ambulance LTD’s self-titled page (covering the LP era): tuneful indie rock that mixes ’60s blues, ’70s rock, ’80s new wave and a dose of psychedelia. Highlights include Yoga Means Union, Anecdote, Ophelia, Sugar Pill, and a Velvet Underground nod with Ocean. Noted as personal rather than groundbreaking, and decidedly not teen-chorus pop. NME praise is mentioned, but mainstream success wasn’t.

Notable Quotes

❝ The Ambulance Ltd mix can be found in every respectable CD store, and these are the ingredients: two tablespoons of psychedelia, a slab of '70s rock, four yolks of '80s new wave, and a pinch of '60s blues.

❝ As strange as it may sound, Ambulance Ltd is one of the bands that has been highly praised by NME but hasn't achieved the success that was hoped for.
