Frozen Blood

Recorded
1980-1982
Released

Crispy Ambulance’s slightly tangled history with Factory can be partially summed up in noting they only released one thing on the label proper: the two track Unsightly and Serene single in 1981, with “Deaf” being the better song in its upfront, slightly weird energy. Frozen Blood compiles that effort with a variety of contemporaneous additions: a slew of radio session cuts from 1980 and 1981 plus some live tracks from 1982. If the various songs don’t always quite reach The Plateau Phase’s majesty, they showed the band’s driving post-punk approach well.
