Like Trains and Taxis

Sometimes referred to as “Indie-Soul,” Like Trains & Taxis combines a modern indie sensibility with traditional notions of song writing, aiming to create songs that hold up on their own without relying on gimmicks and superficial fluff.  The trio is composed of lead singer Chris Harris, whose pursuit of the song as art object informs Like Trains & Taxis' underlying sincerity; a characteristic that has become the backbone of their style.  The songs are then taken to the next level by Owen Susman and Mike Del Priore, adding texture and inspiring the entire band. The end result is a sound that at times recalls classic soul singers like Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, as well as the off beat nuanced approach of artists like Ben Folds and Fiona Apple, with hints of modern titans such as Radiohead, and the "post genre" ideology of the 21st century.

"Like Trains & Taxis features the compositional wizardry of Chris Harris, a guy who combines the traditional talents of Billy Preston, Booker T, Sly Stone and Ray Manzarek all rolled into one." - John Pfeiffer (The Aquarian)
