Rainbow Sands is a step in the right direction, showing exactly why Taxi Rank are one of the most exciting young bands to come out of Wales since Stereophonics came to prominence. Not only is it a tangible, easily digestible alternative rock song, but it also goes hand in hand with the b-side: a re-recording of Handprint.
The production level with the re-recordings and the brand new songs are impeccable; where you could perhaps notice tiny flaws beforehand with previous recordings, they've smoothed them over and showed their progression by giving Handprint a crystal clear new spin.
It’s not just the songs that are captivating, but the striking and vibrant artwork that goes along with it. However, this comes as no surprise because they seemingly always have the perfect artwork to go along with the song so, whoever is designing them, is doing a hell of a good job at it.
For all the eight minutes, you'll be absorbed into the Welsh world of Taxi Rank as they feed you indie goodness in the form of tranquil chord progressions, tantalising riffs, and smooth, slick vocals from frontman Lukas Kelly.
