About Me

Delicious popsongs and sharp indie rock songs are brought to you by Taxi to the ocean. Strong melodies, surprising sounds and brilliant guitar work - just a cool band. The band released their third album in the Benelux by Munich Records and in the UK by Cadiz. The artwork was painted by New York based painter Steve Keene (www.stevekeene.com). This guy also did the artwork for Pavement's album 'Wowee Zowee'. Now you know which way the wind blows. Think of Pavement, Wilco, Motorpsycho, dEUS and Gentle Giant.
