Strictly Confidential

At the age of 9 the Swedish twin sisters Johanna and Miriam Eriksson Berhan aka Taxi Taxi began to play music together for the fun of it. By the time they were fifteen they had two songs up on myspace and national airplay in Sweden. Aged 17 they released the six-track ‘Taxi Taxi!’ EP – produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter, himself and John infamy – and in 2009 Taxi Taxi!’s ‘Step Out Into The Light’ EP saw the download light of day. Throw in the odd breathlessly received festival appearances at Roskilde and Hultsfred and it becomes apparent that Johanna and Miriam have squeezed an alarming amount into their nineteen years. Add in the fact that the aforementioned ‘Step Out Into The Light’ EP featured their take on Daniel Johnston’s ‘True Love Will Find You In The End’ and it becomes apparent that we aren’t talking about getting your average teenage kicks here.
Taxi Taxi! have already been described as “mesmeric”, “ghostly” and “bittersweet” and for sure here are two people lurking at the dark folk end of the street, fragile of voice, gentle of guitar, sombre of mood and minimalist in structure.
