Solar Taxi - Broken Brother’s Secret Bells

Energetic, soulful and rammed with catchy hooks, the debut album from Waterford foursome Solar Taxi conjures up a wide range of influences, from Goldfrapp and Fever Ray to Daft Punk to Nikka Costa. The folky Nick Drake-esque acoustic intro on ‘Saturday’s Children’, the Beatles-sounding ‘Within An Inch Of My Life’ and orchestral opus ‘Parcels’ showcase an ambitious, multi-faceted album, bursting with power and colour.
