Taxi Dancers is a farewell of sorts, fearlessly exploring ██│ Sinclair's despair about losing a lifelong friend and bandmate. But it ██│ is also a clear-eyed survey of what's good in the world, and a profound ██│ statement about why sorrow must be viewed in tandem with joy. Both are ██│ elemental aspects of living, and music - especially rock music, with ██│ its boundless capacity for nuance, shading, and sheer emotional heft - ██│ is perhaps life's purest mirror. Taxi Dancers fluently moves between ██│ candlelit ballads and buoyant pop numbers to flat-out rock scorchers ██│ and what can only be termed as a spaghetti Western-style corker ("Take ██│ Me to the Moon" which is propelled by galloping baritone guitar), all ██│ highlighted by Sinclair's vivid lyrics. The album's unique title, by ██│ the way, refers to the Depression-era custom of bringing women into ██│ remote communities to dance with men at Saturday Socials. "It's like ██│ the entertainment industry where we're paid to dance and then move on," ██│ Sinclair notes. "Music is always central when people get together." A ██│ self-described "band guy" galvanized by collaboration, Sinclair ██│ nevertheless wrote (and co-produced) all of Taxi Dancers' 10 songs ██│ while enlisting players with whom he already had a strong musical ██│ rapport. They included John-Angus MacDonald of The Trews, a friend ██│ since Sinclair co-produced that band's 2011 Hope & Ruin album, and ██│ famed engineer James McKenty whose former band the Spades was also ██│ produced by Sinclair. ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 0    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
