Krautrock legends Can have released an excerpt from their upcoming Live In Aston 1977 album. You can listen to Vier below.
Live In Aston1977 is the latest in a series of live releases from the band through Mute Records and Future Days Records (the new EU label created by Spoon Records) and will be released on May 31.
It follows the release of Can Live in Brighton 1975, Can Live in Stuttgart 1975, Can Live In Cuxhaven 1976 and Live in Paris 1973.
Live In Aston1977 captures the band at a strange point in their career. Bassist Holger Czukay had moved on to performing with the band on what is credited as “waveform radio and spec. sounds”. He was replaced on bass by Rosko Gee from Traffic (Traffic percussionist Rebop Kwaku Baah also joined established band members Czukay, Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli at the time).
The new-look Can's then-new album Saw Delight did not receive good reviews from the media at the time. The line-up featuring Gee and Kwaku Baah would go on to record two more albums with the band, Out Of Reach (1978) and the self-titled Can (1979) before splitting up.
Live In Aston1977 will be available on double vinyl, 2 x CD and digitally. You can view the new artwork below.
