Taylor is a 2004 graduate of New York University.[1] He joined Grizzly Bear after their first release, Horn of Plenty. His contributions to the band's sound since then have varied, and he has become the band's producer since their second album, Yellow House. In live performances, Taylor frequently switches between playing the bass, clarinet, flute, saxophone and sometimes the accordion. He also contributes vocals on most songs.
In mid-2009 Taylor founded Terrible Records with label partner Ethan Silverman.[2] The label was begun in an attempt to spend more time working with and giving exposure to other artists through the release of a number of 7" and 10" EP's.[3] Some of the releases will be his own solo material which will be released under the moniker CANT. His debut solo cd "Dreams Come True" was released September 13, 2011.[4]
