Taxi

Jonjo Feather follows on from his debut single 'I Suppose', with this sleazy, infectious offering 'Taxi'. After securing BBC6 Music Featured New Artist of The Week status, MTV2 120 Minutes airings, BBC Radio 1 support, critical praise from Artrocker, The Metro, The Fly, Sandman & many others, Jonjo's new single seeks to continue where the previous left off, but in a slightly more sinister vain. Jonjo is a pop star, a songwriter, a creative multi-instrumentalist genius who plays all the instruments on his recordings. But Jonjo is a bit different. In an era where insipid, populist melodies ooze from every available airwave, he crafts timeless songs but infuses them with a sense of the unusual.

Working from a barn in Yorkshire, Jonjo solders microphone wires into old telephone cradles and writes songs with his guitar purposely out of tune in a quest for something other than the norm. These unusual proclivities started at an early age, when he had an epiphany and decided to ditch tuition. "Lessons got a bit of a drag," he says, "all that boring scales malarky. I got into My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth and realised that it wasn't about music theory but making noise that you're happy with.
