Taxi Taxi! aka twinsisters Johanna and Miriam write brilliant songs and sings them out so mesmerizingly sweet, that it is hard to believe that these two talented girls still are in their teens. It seems they already have a sharp understanding of music and the wonderful powers hidden herein.
Recorded in their hometown with Björn Yttling (from Peter, himself and John) as the producer this little EP perfectly showcases this new promising and übertalented band.
The EP presents six tracks written over the last year and a half, telling stories of love and life through the eyes of the two girls. The listener gets an honest and intimate sound of indie-pop and folk projected through their unique voices and harmonies. Fingerpicked guitar and piano drive most of the tracks but the EP sees a refreshing accordion and glockenspiel mix thrown in.
The Taxi Taxi! EP comes in a wonderful digipak printed on heavy-weight board made by the Copenhagen design duo Hvass&Hannibal.
The Times (uk): Hottest Download! “ghostly music by Swedish identical-twin sisters.”
Music-News (uk) 4 of 5 stars!:Taxi Taxi! display great artistic maturity, a small, but perfectly formed introduction to their sound world. Give us more”
Amelia´s Magazine (uk): “Swedish teen twins Miriam and Johanna Eriksson Berhans seem to posses a talent and knowingness beyond their years. Layered and rich, swaying further towards folk than indie and full of raw emotion”
Drowned in Sound (uk) 8 of 10! “Taxi Taxi! have talent to burn if this self-titled offering is anything to go by, and once they reach their plateau of musical maturity expect them to turn heads”
Angry Ape (uk) "Taxi Taxi! EP is short and bittersweet and suggests a very bright future for these youngsters.”
NoRipcord (uk) 9 of 10 stars! ” To Hide This Way is better still. This time the mood is less playful, more melancholic, with a fragile finger picked guitar figure that Cat Power would kill for. When the sparse piano counter melody comes in, only to be followed by a more confident vocal and, you guessed it, yet more sublime harmonies it's hard not to get carried away”
Sonic Magazine (se) 8 of 10!: “…så fint att man måste vara tyst, låsa dörren och lägga av luren för att försäkra sig om att inte gå miste om en endaste sekund.”
Dagens Nyheter, Nils Hansson (se): "Det är en mycket speciell stämning de skapar. På något sätt lågmäld men yvig på samma gång, som om Björk eller Rickie Lee Jones hade suttit och knåpat ihop en hemmademo i all enkelhet samtidigt som ett barn sov i rummet intill. Samspelet är synnerligen intimt, samtidigt som sångstilen hela tiden är på vippen att ta det stora språnget. Det är faktiskt ett litet äventyr att följa"
Gaffa (dk) 4 stars: ”Svenske teenage-tvillinger bag forbløffende formfuldendt minialbum”
Undertoner (dk) 4 stars: ”Det drives udelukkende af oprigtigheden i stemmerne. Og det virker overraskende godt”
