Terrible Records and Babelgum CMJ Showcase - Intro
Terrible Records: Chris Taylor and Ethan Silverman formed Terrible Records on a whim, and weren't really sure what to do first. They have made a few bad decisions along the way, and some that were plain awful. One decision they did make was to form a record label, which was terrible. I guess the Acrylics record (All of the Fire) turned out pretty alright. And who didn't like the Arthur Russell/Cant split 7 inch? There are some high hopes for the Class Actress EP coming out, and that's mildly comforting. As they continue to make it up as they go, they will hopefully have some strong releases coming out in 2010. Though I doubt it. At least Chris is in Grizzly Bear.

Terrible Records and Babelgum CMJ Showcase - Little...
Little Girls: If there’s been a ‘trend’ worth following in music this year, it could well be the gravitation towards under-produced, highly-conceptual lo-fi fuzz pop, a Pitchfork-endorsed sound re-popularized by the likes of Wavves, Crystal Stilts, Times New Viking and No Age, to name but a few. In Toronto one entry of note is Little Girls, an unlikely outfit grown from the basement studio stylings of 20-year-old Josh McIntyre, former Pirate/Rock member whose surprise post-punk minimalism created a buzz on both sides of the border before he had a chance to even explain himself. McIntyre, who cites as his biggest influences hip hop producers including the late great J Dilla, recorded and posted some songs under the moniker early this year with zero expectations. Their debut album Concepts, out on Paper Bag Records, is murky, moody and varied – just a few of the reasons they were picked to play the first Terrible Records Showcase for CMJ 09.

Terrible Records and Babelgum CMJ Showcase - Blood...
Devonte' Hynes is Blood Orange. In terms of side projects and unofficial material Dev Hynes must be amongst the most prolific in the game right now. His accumulative discography would dwarf acts who have been around twice as long and he's launched yet another project. Blood Orange is a lo-fi lounge pop outfit, not a million miles from Lightspeed Champion but one that reigns in that latters alt.country tendencies. Regardless of his stage name, Dev is a multi-talented songwriter, composer and musician from the UK whose new moniker, Blood Orange, is a fresh sound of pop and surf. Dev says he sings differently on this record, much more calculated and it has its own life to it. Equipped with his guitar and black Macbook, Dev seamlessly guided through a storybook of songs for his show at Pianos, as part of the Terrible Records showcase, most of which would cause one to dance; he did take the time to ask for the lights to be turned down for a more tender song but overall it was an energetic display of melodramatic lyrics and bouncy beats. Song “ Forget It”

Terrible Records and Babelgum CMJ Showcase - Acrylics
Acrylics was formed by Jason Klauber and Molly Shea in 2008 and evolved into a trio in the recent past. Acrylics is the first artist to debut on Terrible Records, the new label started by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and Ethan Silverman. Shortly after the release of Taylor's 7-inch solo effort, CANT, Acrylics released their debut, All of the Fire, which was produced by Taylor at his church-studio in Brooklyn, Terrible Studios. Acrylics are a Pitchfork "Rising" Artist, and Stereogum said, "Acrylics' lead single ["All of the Fire"] is a '70s mining pop tune, luring in with swelling pedal steel, reverbed guitars, Molly Shea's pristine vocal and gorgeous, faint harmonies, washing and moving like a dreamy Fleetwood Mac rumor. Worth a listen." Song Lil Ivy
