Frantic, lightning quick, unpredictable, and with no mercy for pedestrians. Brooklyn’s Black Taxi is not unlike any other taxi you’ll find in New York City. The punk/pop/rock quartet has been churning out gritty tracks and working the live circuit to the bone since 2007. Their new EP, Chiaroscuro, will be released this month. Chiaroscuro, in the art world, is the use of strong contracts in light and dark. We can look back to “Tightrope,” a single off the group’s sophomore album, We Don’t Know Any Better, for the perfect example of that contrast. Mixing dark tones and lyrics with an energetic pop sensibility, “Tightrope” shows that Black Taxi is the kind of group that looks at red lights more as a suggestion to stop rather than an obligation. Enjoy.
