Listen: Grovesnor - “Taxi From the Airport (Radio Edit)”

One would imagine that despite the hectic schedule UK geek-pop outfit Hot Chip keeps its members like to keep busy in other ways. One man pulls a double shift with LCD Soundsystem, the bespectacled lead singer has his own solo project, and it looks like the drummer for the quintet does just the same. As Grovesnor, Rob Smoughton writes smooth ’80s-influenced pop songs that wouldn’t be the least bit out of place on soundtracks for Beverly Hills Cop or Miami Vice.

“Taxi From the Airport” is a driving number about a jet setting player trying to track a certain special someone after arriving in town. The song is a bit heavy on the kitsch and referential sonics (Hall & Oates’ guitar is laid on just as thick as Giorgio Moroder’s synths and drum machine), but still, “Taxi” has a soul of its own, and should make for a nice addition to Grovesnor’s debut album on Lore Recordings, Soft Return.
