Midnight Ambulance Off Axis Artist of the Week Scotland On Sunday, 21 February2021
Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Fraser F and Amelia S first met on the Edinburgh music scene nine years ago but it was only when they found themselves at an enforced stand still last spring, that they embarked on a collaboration – Midnight Ambulance. For the most part they have worked together remotely, but managed to record an impressive debut track with engineer/producer Paul Winton, at his analogue studios in Bellshill.
Entitled Black Gloves, it has a hint of Massive Attack’s darker, moodier side but combines this with a meaty rhythm section and interludes of gothic reverb guitar. Selected as Single of the Week on RAPAL / BBC Radio nan Gàidheal, and featured on BBC Radio Scotland by Vic Galloway and Jim Gellatly on Amazing Radio, it is accompanied by a video by the ubiquitous Danger Kill Production with artwork by Ritchie Collins. The duo are set to reconvene imminently to record more of the 70 songs they’ve already written and a live video shot in the garage of a champion motorcyclist, is set to appear in March.
