We won't lie. We've been crushing on CAN'T ever since we were first bewitched by the chirping closet confessionals on the Final Performance CD-R that we listed a month or so ago. Then, we saw Jessica Rylan (a.k.a. CAN'T) open for WHITEHOUSE, WOLF EYES, and PIG DESTROYER, as part of SECRET DIARY, her duo with Donna Parker that spewed arcs of serious amplifier scream and shy utterances that just totally amazed us. So, we've been working on getting our hands on all of the CAN'T stuff that's been released for Crucial Blast, and we ultra stoked to find this brand new, beautiful looking picture disc 12" released on RRRecords. Like some weird melting together of K Records-style, delicate DIY bedroom pop and gnarly analogue synth sputter, New Secret has several tracks that focus on Jessica Rylan's lullaby voice chopped up with modulated feedback oscillations and scrawling sine waves from her small, self-built synths. The result is a beautiful collection of cracked electronics and crumbling circuits haunted by eerie little girl vocals. It also sort of reminds me of hearing one of those eerie, beautiful tunes from The Wicker Man, like "Willow's Song", through a long row of box fans, chopping up the softy sung strains of girlish longing into bits and pieces of wispy folk noise and blowing the fragments out into twilight air. Absoluetly GORGEOUS, highly recommended, probably our favorite recorded work from CAN'T ever. Limited edition of 500. One side of the pic disc is covered in snapshots lifted straight out of Jessica Rylan's scrapbook, cut and paste style...the other side has a nice scrawled watercolor piece.
