Ambulanz – III 12″ EP (It’s Eleven Records)

Judging by their latest 12” release, III, Ambulanz from Leipzig are less concerned with saving your life and more interested in seeing how close they can push you to the edge before you have a complete, joyous freakout. This record is a beautiful, messy act of defiance, a sonic tightrope walk that constantly threatens to collapse but somehow, miraculously, lands on its feet every single time. III exemplifies controlled chaos, proving that art-punk doesn’t have to be cold and academic, and garage music doesn’t have to be dumb. Ambulanz straddles that perfect, tricky line between accessible oddity and a genuine, full-tilt art-haus freakout, and they do it with a pulsing vibrancy that keeps the entire enterprise alive and kicking. They manage to be brainy, noisy, and perfectly catchy all at once, which is the exact balancing act that could easily sink into bland mediocrity, but not here. The musical tension is the engine that drives the whole thing. Ambulanz takes key elements from three distinct, yet compatible, genres and slams them together with reckless abandon. You get the dizzying, hypnotic repetition and motorik rhythms of krautrock, giving the songs a relentless forward momentum. That foundation is then immediately dismantled by the sharp, jerky, angular structures of post-punk, ensuring nothing ever settles into a comfortable groove for too long. But underneath all that intentional weirdness is the raw, unpolished energy of garage, which injects the record with enough grit and fun to make you want to dance, even if your moves look like a nervous breakdown. The instrumentation is key to this beautiful instability. The bouncing bass is the true MVP here, acting as the anchor that attempts to keep the songs grounded while the rest of the band tries to launch them into space. Meanwhile, swirling synth and keys coat the whole arrangement, adding a layer of experimental menace and color that makes the soundscape feel genuinely vast and a little paranoid.

And then there are the dual vocals. This technique is a crucial narrative device, playing off each other, creating a sense of frantic dialogue and inner conflict that mirrors the lyrical themes. They sound like two different sides of the same rapidly fraying psyche, constantly teetering on the edge of disintegration. This controlled sonic collapse is the core identity of III. The songs never sound broken, but they always feel like they’re one errant drum hit or one missed note away from dissolving into pure white noise. The band treats the song like a machine built from spare parts, it might look rusty and smoke a little, but it gets you where you need to go faster and louder than anything else on the road. The themes are just as messy as they sound, which is a good thing because they completely validate each other. The songs dive headfirst into the heavy stuff, loss, anxiety, and substances are all front and center. But this isn’t a wallow. Instead, the chaotic music acts as the perfect soundtrack for those intense feelings. The melodies themselves are the fleeting joy, the quick, euphoric highs that the band manages to snatch from the darkness, only to watch them get immediately swallowed by the angular guitar lines or the krauty experimentalism. It’s about that frantic, messy struggle to find meaning and light in an overwhelmingly dark world. The flicker of hope is there, but you have to work for it, you have to search for it through the distortion and noise. This lyrical honesty, paired with music that sounds like a hyperactive nervous system, makes the album feel incredibly immediate and necessary. It showcases that your anxiety is valid, but also that the best way to deal with it might just be to turn it into a loud, fast song.

Ambulanz’s III represents what post-punk can and should be in the current era. It refuses to settle for the standard gloom or the easy chorus, instead demanding that the listener meet the band halfway in their exhilaratingly messy world. The fact that four people can create something so structurally complex yet so satisfying exemplifies their collaboration and their shared vision. They are the exciting proof that true punk rock is about pushing boundaries, not just sticking to a formula. By successfully fusing the repetitive trance of krautrock with the emotional punch of punk, Ambulanz has brought a familiar yet wildly unpredictable record. It’s loud, smart, and the perfect soundtrack when you’re teetering on that line between giving up and going completely off the rails. Put this on and celebrate the messy beauty of the breakdown. Head to It’s Eleven Records for more information about ordering.

Dans un élan de résistance joyeusement politique, la musique de BLACK EYES a toujours évoqué une forme de lutte festive et chaotique contre les forces les plus lugubres. 'Hostile Design', son nouvel album sorti chez Dischord, ne fait pas exception. Chronique et écoute intégrale : mowno.com/disques/black-eyes-h

Hard Attack is the debut album by MX-80 Sound, released in 1977 by Island Records.

According to Trouser Press, the album was well received by the critics who reviewed it when it was released. AllMusic writes that the album "[finds] the band balanced in some sort of weird zone where punk, art metal, and a drawling sort of humor could all happily coexist." - Wikipedia

I've got a day of mundane tasks ahead of me and music will help get me through it.

Jungle Nausea s/t compilation

I found out about this band through one of my exes many years before it was reissued and I'm trying to remember how I heard it. Either dubbed tape or pirated mp3. 1980s Portland #artpunk, ex-members of Smegma. Sounds like #TheEx sometimes.

Eins noch, dann ist Ruhe hier mit meinen Ausflugsbildern...

Eines Tages wird der Sanddorn den gesamten Block
ĂŒberwuchert haben, bis dieser schließlich kollabiert.

(wĂ€re da nicht die Zunft der ordnungswĂŒtigen Hausmeister)

Soundtrack dazu (gerade entdeckt beim Spazieren, is auch brandneu!) - literally lÀuft bei mir gerade.
