Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear's multi-instrumentalist bassist) announced a little while back that he had created a record label called Terrible Records (ah, ah...puns). Today marks the first release for the label: CANT's self-titled debut 7-inch. It features "Ghosts" as well as a previously unreleased song recorded by Arthur Russell in the late '70's, called "Come To Life." CANT is actually Taylor's creation and, so, today also marks his first solo release (double whammy).
This is actually the first in a series of 7-inches recorded at Terrible Studios, Taylor's Brooklyn-based church-studio where he produced most of Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest. The series will continue to feature more songs recorded at Terrible.
The CANT 7-inch is limited to 1,000 copies, so get it while you can at select retailers or right here.
To celebrate today's release, Terrible is offering a FREE download of "Ghosts."
MP3: CANT - "Ghosts"
The song isn't a far cry from Taylor's work with Grizzly Bear -- here you can tell his influence is strong in the band. It's got that '50s-dissolving-into-'60s reverbed, psychedelic sound that's both hypnotizing and beautiful. "Ghosts" is full of thumping bass and tom drums, with waves of guitar chords and ethereal "ooo"s.
