Ambulette -Seconds Until MidnightLead singer Maura Davis's voice is classically trained, giving it that power and echo that sinks into the listener's mind. The dark undertones in her voice, backed with the crashing drums and clear guitars, the smooth lines of the song, the mysterious, beautiful quality of everything sets off a glowing night sky of melodies. And while the band lacks the slightly careless, rough edges of "regular" indie bands (probably because Maura's pitch always so full on, and the depth of the vocals brushes past all the lo-fi guitar riffs), the eerie, filling quality of the whole song makes it a great listen.
