Like Trains & Taxis

Add Date: March

Artist: Like Trains & Taxis

Album: Tales from a Revolving Door

Label: Self-released

Genre: Pop, "Indie-Soul"

Comments: From the promoter:

"Sometimes referred to as 'Indie-Soul,' Like Trains & Taxis combines a modern indie sensibility with traditional notions of song-writing, aiming to create songs that hold up on their own without relying on gimmicks and superficial fluff. [L]ead singer Chris Harris' pursuit of the song as an art object informs Like Trains & Taxis' underlying sincerity; a characteristic that has become the backbone of their style. ... The end result is a sound that at times recalls classic soul singers like Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway as well as the off-beat nuanced approach of artists like Ben Folds and Fiona Apple..."

RIYL: Cold War Kids. Check out "Cold Shoulder."
