Grovesnor, Taxi From the Airport (Debruit Remix - FILTER exclusive)

Rob Smoughton, aka Grovesnor, is best known for his day job as drummer for Hot Chip, but come May 25th he'll be embarking on his own electroventure. Grovesnor's solo debut Soft Return will be released through Lo Recordings, followed by a tour we're told will feature a full six-piece band.

Check out the remix of "Taxi from the Airport" below while playing the name-the-musical-influences game, keeping in mind Smoughton's own line on the Grovesnor jams: "The music is not pastiche, I love that stuff too much. Lyrically, there's another thing going on. You can write a novel from another person's perspective but when you write a song and use the words 'I' and 'You' then there's often an assumption it's personal. The ambiguity of 'is he for real' is where Grovesnor comes in. He's more of an anti-hero, and often makes mistakes or chooses the wrong path at pivotal moments. If there's comedy in these songs, then that's just the tragedy amplified to comic proportions."
