Swedish duo conjures grungy, brooding indie anthem
This grunge-driven indie anthem from Normal Average People is a masterclass in brooding moody indie. Released on Seb Wildblood’s label, All My Thoughts, “Refund Taxi” is a track that perfectly encapsulates the band’s evolution.
The track’s origins lie in a real-life ordeal experienced by Sam Gillbanks, one half of the duo. Stranded for hours in a small Swedish town en route to Emil Lloyd’s studio, the experience birthed the song’s raw emotion and evocative lyrics.
“Refund Taxi” showcases the band’s matured sound, blending electronic influences with their signature ’90s shoegaze style. The result is a captivating track that resonates with listeners on both an emotional and sonic level.
With its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, “Refund Taxi” is a must listen for fans of Cigarettes After Sex and Slowdive, and anyone who appreciates music that delves deep into the complexities of human experience. You can give it a spin below:
