Ambulance were a band in danger of disappearing down the off-the-wall covers road never to be heard of again, following the unexpected success of their take on “21 Seconds To Go” (an XFM favourite). However, they’re now back with two totally different songs. First up, “Witchi Tai To”, is – yes, a cover – but it’s one they make their own, creating an almost mystical journey through harmonies and gentle acoustics, a version that will haunt you for days afterwards. Even better, flip to “Over & Out”, a complete studio freak-out that’ll scare anyone who’s imbibed anything stronger than tea-strung-out electronics and guitars spiralling out of control against a wall of drums as spoken word musings try to make sense of it all. Truly a siren for impoverished ears everywhere.
