Chris Taylor - Ghosts (Class Actress Remix)

Chris Taylor you might recognise as being one fourth of Grizzly Bear, the lip trembling chamber pop troubadours from Brooklyn. Taylor, in his time away from Ed Droste, is busy establishing himself as a one stop shop for musical excellence. If not working on his label with acts like Acrylics or producing The Morning Benders then he is making his own solo stuff under the name of CANT. Remixed here by another NYC'er in Class Actress (highly recommended in her own right) 'Ghost' is the sound of Grizzly Bear after dark, ties and top buttons loosened and descending into many a murky corner.
