Berlin Taxi is the latest stop for frontman Michael Arruebarrena. In recent years, the New Orleans music scene has been exposed to Arrubarrena’s songwriting through prims of garage rock, alternative, and even touches of psychedelia and new wave. Berlin Taxi is his latest effort after further musical exploration; namely an excursion through Europe with bandmate Morgan McManus. The two discovered the distinctive styles of Euro-based synth pop and soon afterward began devising a newly inspired creation. Adding another New Orleans scene mainstay, Gregory Manson, to the outfit, the group presents a modern take on synth based pop music that incorporates the more straight forward writings styles of Arruebarrena’s past works.
