Despite reflecting Chris Gunrup's often bleak worldview, the music is expansive and beautiful, marked by playing that's as much free jazz as rock - pure music without any showiness. The songs unfold slowly, without a traditional verse \/ chorus structure, spinning gauzy webs of shimmering mystery with their own inimitable dynamic of sinuous, swirling guitars; rich, ambient basslines; crisp percussion and restrained, church-like, keyboard textures. The stately tempos suggest a room full of shadows desperately reaching out for intimacy but never quite making the connection. The songs brim over with tension and more implied release than actual relief. Gunrup is known for his reluctance to talk about his process and prefers to let the music speak for itself and if 2015's 'Picture You' was brighter, exploding outward to explore the limits of experience, 'Ambulance' is much more intimate. The mix denser and darker, the instruments pressing closer, crowding each other, imploding inward to reconnoitre the uncharted distances that exist between us, even in life's most intimate moments. Sharing members with Sweden's psych forefathers Dungen, the album delves into the hidden recesses of the heart, finding inner space to be just as expansive as the midnight sky. It was recorded in just a few days in one tiny room at Stockhom's Buller and Bang studio.

Available here on Double LP and CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Amazing stay just out of focus. On their fifth album, In Transit, they once again perform the unlikely trick of making music that is both dreamlike, drifting across the consciousness, as well as perfectly constructed. While In Transit shares the sense of mood of many of singer and founder Christoffer Gunrup’s favourite bands – the Cure, My Bloody Valentine, Flaming Lips – it never drifts away into self-indulgence. At the heart of it all, beneath the washes of guitar, the woozy reveries, are sturdy, intensely melodic songs. You hear that from the very start of the album, when Pull slides into view, slide guitar casting shapes and shadows across the arpeggios beneath, while lightly jazzy drums propel the song forward and Gunrup mournfully whispers his barely audible lyrics, before the song ascends into a refrain that sounds like every emotion combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLPx2\u003c\/b\u003e - Standard Double LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCD\u003c\/b\u003e - Standard CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Partisan Records","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50497305084235,"sku":"1029579","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50497301086539,"sku":"1029578","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c43bbc25-b9f2-4906-a319-4981fd29d8a8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727727267"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/the-amazing.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
