Chris Taylor is certainly a busy man. A member of esteemed harmonic band Grizzly Bear , Chris is also a cofounder of Terrible Records , home of hip acts such as Twin Shadow and Class Actress. Chris also produced the epic Morning Benders album Big Echo . If that doesn't sound like a boat load, Chris now has a solo project - CANT. I heard he also spends time fixing the economy and feeding homeless people in soup kitchens on the weekend. Let's get back to CANT for a moment. Effectively known as [...]

Today's cover is the bittersweet, indie-disco fused Boy From School by Hot Chip. Dispensing with the electronics however are four indie covers; 3 acoustic renditions by Grizzly Bear , British India and Portastatic and 1 slightly more rocking number from Maritime (which oddly enough ends in an acoustic fashion). Grizzly Bear - And I Was A Boy From School British India - And [...]
We are spoiled to have the collective brainchild of the four innovative individuals that comprise the Grizzly Bear quartet. Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen lead the Brooklyn maestros into worlds fraught with perfect dynamics, haunting moods, and pitch-perfect harmonies. Truly, few are the number of bands that can match Grizzly Bear's formidable musicianship. Their knack for sonic balance is a wonder to behold. Forgive me for treading briefly on holy ground, but Grizzly Bear easily evoke the comparison of an indie Beatles. Hear me out: two quartets bursting at the seams with [...]
Hot on the heels of the superb George Harrison cover disk from Mojo magazine comes Uncut magazine's Brian Wilson tribute. Rather than cover versions, it has collected together a group of tracks from bands that can all tip their hat to the influence of Mr Wilson. Artists include Panda Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Gruff Rhys, Volcano Choir, Girls and Caribou among others, and here are two of our own favourites from the disk from Ganglians and Grizzly Bear . Like Mojo, Uncut is available from [...]
This is indeed the definition of Monday Mourning. After a brief stint on the unemployment line (about 96 hours), I am heading back to work to start my new career as a restauranteur. Today, after 13 years in the hospitality business, I get the privilege of shadowing a 21 year old server to learn the ropes of front of house operations. Fun! Anyways, as my hours of freedom tick away, here are some cover songs that I am listening to. Free mp3: Appetite - Fiery Ring (Johnny Cash cover) [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , Q + A Sacks & Co. When Chris Taylor is not on tour with Grizzly Bear (and sometimes even when he is), the bassist and producer is always working on some other project. His latest is CANT , a solo project of sorts that just released 'Dreams Come True' on Taylor's own Terrible Records. Taylor wrote and recorded the album [...]
Grizzly Bear's Dan Rossen produces this MP3 from Family Band, recorded for the Shaking Through series of one-day song-recording documentaries. (Previously: Twin Sister , Reading Rainbow .) In the clip below you see primary Family members (in both the "music" and "they're-married" senses) Kim Krans and Jonny Ollsin get a little tense and confused while arranging "Again" with lapsteel player Scott Hirsch and Rossen. They found their way (like a family), and we're left with a fine example of the band's core strengths - a "heavy mellow" or ("goth prom") vibe that pits striking and clear [...]

I like Grizzly Bear. I like Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear. He recently released a solo album as CANT (but you already knew that, didn't you?) which I have yet to listen to minus a few mp3s that have been floating around for a while. I just heard this track that did not make the album and I like it a lot. It starts out mad electronic and then does a little switcharoo halfway through. Just lots of weird things going on here, and that's what I dig. In a weird way, I think this [...]
CANT, the solo side project from Grizzly Bear member Chris Taylor, has already released debut album Dreams Come True ; we posted his track " Believe ." But Taylor isn't done releasing music. And below, we've got an MP3 of a non-album track, the seven-minute mutant-synthpop odyssey "Be Around." Read More...
Isn't Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear a busy man, actually, it looks like George Lewis Jnr likes to keep pretty busy too. continue reading >>
This month's episode of Shaking Through —the online audio and video collaboration between Weathervane Music and WXPN—features a song by Family Band titled "Again." The Brooklyn-based act is composed of husband-wife duo Kim Krans and Jonny Ollsin as well as family friend Scott Hirsch; the episode was curated and produced by Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear . More from the folks at Shaking Through: With one EP and one full length under their belts, Family Band has traditionally recorded within the confines of their hand-built cabin in the [...]
![Active Child – Playing House (Ft. How To Dress Well) [Music Video + Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3729975_lg.jpg)
Off of his debut full-length CD, You Are All I See , "Playing House" by Los Angeles based musician Pat Grossi (aka Active Child ) represents a much-needed R&B revival in independent music. The How To Dress Well assisted track is a glimmer of hope in an indie music scene overwhelmingly dominated by an exceeding number of Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective copycats. We want that TLC and Ginuwine swagger back. Though this ain't Jodeci or Keith Sweat, this is a step in the right direction for the cats out there that were not fortunate enough [...]
When an artist embarks on a solo project at a young age, the pursuit is commendable. Such ambition is shown on the full-length album by Leaves of Green, Imago. The album was created by one James Madole, a 20-year-old student at New York University. On his debut, Madole uses an infusion of vocals, guitar, ukulele, [...]
Since joining Grizzly Bear way back in late 2004, Chris Taylor has featured evermore prominently within the Seattle group's work. From initially only participating in the live performances, to producing their most recent record, Taylor's importance within the outfit is not to be underestimated. However, with Dreams Come True he's chosen to go it alone, attempting to prove his own worth as a musician and songwriter. Where Grizzly Bear clung to their folk and entirely natural aesthetics, CANT experiments with a more [...]
There's no shortage of terrible covers out there, and the vast majority of them usually fall into one of two categories: Overly faithful and vastly inferior to the original and totally pointless, making you just want to hear the original Overly experimental, wrecking the original, and just as pointless as the first kind of bad cover A good cover finds makes the original great and casts it in a new light. It makes you notice that that disco song had a really great melody, that the original was a little [...]
