"One Song. One Take. One Cab." That's the simple concept behind this amazing series of backseat performances recorded on the streets of London. The sessions are undoubtedly about great music and the venue (a taxicab) strips every performance to its essence. In their own words, "We aren't picky about genre and will happily open the cab door to anyone who blows us away." Conceived and produced by Just So Films with artist selection by Hidden Fruit.
I stumbled across the sessions hunting down music/video of one of my new favorite artists, Lykke Li, last night. I got so caught up in them it was after 3:00 a.m. when I finally realized I'd better shut 'er down for the day. Here's a few of my favorites below. I'm kickin' it off with Lykke Li followed by Scout Niblett, Daniel Johnston, Cold War Kids and finally Emmy the Great. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
