Ambulance LTD - “Helmsman”
Heavy Lifting 7”

This track and “Straight A’s” (from the same single) are just two fabulously well-crafted songs - the preferred genre of Ambulance LTD, whose 2003 LP remains one of the most solid collections of discrete indie-rock songs of the decade. The sound may not be original, but the frequency with which this band bests their influences is impressive.
