CD: Taxiride: Electrophobia (2006)

Our past is only a stone's throw away, so for us this wasn't so much about looking back," says Jason Singh. "It was more of a chance to showcase what we can sound like when you take all the glitter off, the way it was for us in the beginning. It was a great opportunity to put our music where our mouth is." For all the varied approaches taken by Liberation Blue artists, it's fair to say that Taxiride chose the most challenging way of recording. . Electrophobia was laid down in a single performance, in a bluestone church in Melbourne on May 26, 2006, in front of a hundred fans. The extraordinary warmth and precision of the performance, enhanced by a live string quartet on eight songs, is testament to a world class band in every sense of the term: exceptional songwriters, committed and passionate musicians with a rare chemistry that exists independent of studio gloss.
