Ambulance
The Curse Of Vale Do Lobo
Boomkat Product Review:
Planet Mu continues on its mission with another new release and yet another strong debut - this being the long awaited first album from Dublin's Dunk & Trev, aka Ambulance. Their sound takes a skewed look at IDM, setting the agenda brilliantly on the opening "Tickle". The elements are all familiar, the delivery is not. Crunchy beats and squashed production are the order of the day, the overall effect tainted by a strange off-kilter arrangement and a strangely infectious cacophony. The title track, meanwhile, consists of an appregiated bassline that builds up the anticipation for a drop that just doesn't make an appearance - perhaps reminding us most of Max Tundra's work on the excellent "Some best friend.." album, or New Order if their drum machines were confiscated. The uplifting electronic crunch of "Kurant" is perhaps the album's most straightforward track, an infusion of heart-tugging melodies, lullaby progressions and a metallic edge that's a good antithesis to the messiness found elsewhere. Not an instant album, but one with the kind of originality that's all too scarce these days. Check.
