The American Heritage dictionary defines ambiguity as
(am’big’yoo’i’te)n., pl. –ties 1. Doubtfulness or uncertainty as regards interpretation: moral ambiguity. 2. Something of doubtful meaning: a poem full of ambiguities.
It’s fitting then that The Ambiguities’ sound is hard to pin down, making attempts to categorize it ambiguous at best. This doesn’t stop people from trying. Daniel Oppenheimer, in The Valley Advocate described their music as “eccentric, cerebral, and eerily beautiful.” Of their debut album he wrote: “If Beck had more of an Apocalyptic bent, he might produce a record that sounds something like this.” April Boyle wrote in Northeast Performer that their songs are “intricately orchestrated pieces that require several spins to fully appreciate their complexity...there're always new things to hear.”
