Jesus Christ Taxi Driver channels self-belief on new single ‘Lana Del Rey’
Jesus Christ Taxi Driver release their new single ‘Lana Del Rey,’ as the Colorado band prepares for their second album Taxi The Rich, out April 24 via Midtopia.
‘Lana Del Rey’ finds the band leaning into unfiltered bravado, using the pop icon as a symbolic North Star for self-belief. Repeating the mantra “I’m Lana Del Rey” until it resonates, the song captures a confrontation with self-doubt and persecution. Rooted in pure rock ‘n’ roll ethos but drawing from garage punk, funk, surf rock, twang, and power pop, the single reflects the broader sonic direction of Taxi The Rich. The album assembles an unlikely cast of characters, including serial killers, Lana Del Rey, Jeffrey Epstein, and more, framed through a rapturously irreverent and politically pointed lens.
Vocalist and guitarist Ian Ehrhart said:
“‘Lana Del Rey’ is representative of self-belief and confidence amidst persecution and self-doubt. She is a pop icon that transcends pop icons through artistic integrity and an unrelenting sense of identity. She has it all… mystique, intellect, depth… She is a figment of our imagination.”
‘Lana Del Rey’ is out now and available on all streaming platforms.
