Mono Taxi - We Wanna Get Some Real Fun (Ciao Ketchup)

Right off the bat: a Pixies vibe. But deeper into it, they sing like, “hey, we’re making music, and we don’t care” not so much like a “hey, we are making music and we don’t give a fuck” (which tends to be louder and a little angrier/edgier). It’s actually pretty warm sounding for also having a shoe-gaze style. The keyboard/electronic additions in “Different Games” adds fun into a song which is already happy and it still doesn’t tip the band into a pop song. The whole 7” highlights pop music as something more than a drumbeat and a catchy hook. Way to go Mono Taxi!
