After last summer (a summer that apparently belonged to them), the Ambulars took a school break. Jen, their bassist, goes to grad school in Chicago while Andy and Mikey held down the fort in DC. Well this summer got them active once again. With a fresh-ass EP for your ears and a slight change in line-up, they were ready for tour. Andy moved to the drum box while Danny joined up and took over the open string box position.

This EP is a slight change. First thing you'll notice is the soft-yet-blazing pop jam "The Pilot". My fav of the record by far. Very reminiscent of the style of "Daily Inheritance" from their acoustic EP, but better recorded (duh). The rest of the record gets progressive more like the pop-punk Ambulars we've all come to expect. "Marianne and Ferdinand" is a kind of cut that could easily blend in an indie-pop or pop/rock record and you wouldn't question it at all. "Ghastly District" is the closest you're gonna get to vintage Ambulars on this one. (Also, I agree Mikey, DC does suck. Move to Braddock!) The last thing you will notice is that you've listened to the whole thing and have only heard one vocalist. That's because of the move in line-up. All the songs are sung by Mikey with back-ups from Jen. I'm definitely a fan of the move. The one time I've seen them since their line-up change I was pretty stoked on it (though they weren't playing any new stuff). Don't worry kids, they still play the other songs.

Holler.
