Shit, I just can't seem to leave these Brooklyn bands alone. Black Taxi is new on my radar, but their first album dropped only two years ago so I'm still 1 for 2 and, hey, that's batting .500 by any standard. Every bio you will read - including their own, from which all else seems to be cribbed - makes a big whoop about the surf rock influences, and, sure, they're there, but that belies the fact that they mostly seem to be studying the same 80s new wave bands that TV on the Radio are hip to. "Tightrope" is good stuff, whatever the era.
