With “Arbuckle’s Swan Song,” Brooklyn genre-benders, Ambulance LTD, somehow teleport back to Los Angeles, circa 1975, expertly capturing a whiff of the city’s laissez-faire hedonism. Culled from the band’s New English EP, the track was included in our LA Burnout 2: Still Burnt compilation from last year.

2 | Satisfied '75 February 16th, 2011 at 9:19 amI think this is the only Ambulance LTD song where the lead guy didn’t sing. Bassist wrote and sang this tune – he and the drummer went on to do their own stuff:http://music.theredromance.com/music.html
Check out the UK singles and “The Red Romance”

5 | Zach February 16th, 2011 at 10:42 amF! I remember this song from LA Burnout 2 and I just assumed they were some obscure 70s California group. Gotta admit, I AM digging this and Grabbing New English now. Thanks again AD.
