Our Take

Grouper's "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill" is a haunting masterpiece that transports listeners to another realm, much like a spiritual journey through an enchanted forest. Liz Harris, the mastermind behind the ambient project, weaves a sonic tapestry of ethereal vocals and subtle instrumentation that captivates the senses and lures you into a dream-like state.

The album opens with "Disengaged", a mesmerising track that sets the tone for what's to come. Harris' delicate vocals float effortlessly over a bed of echoing guitars and ethereal synths, creating a sense of weightlessness that is both eerie and enchanting. As the album progresses, tracks like "Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping" and "Stuck" showcase Harris' ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, as if each song is a window into a distant memory.

Throughout "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill", Grouper creates a world that is both ethereal and intimate, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the music and surrender to its hypnotic allure. It's a testament to Harris' talent as a songwriter and producer, and cements Grouper's status as one of the most innovative and influential artists in the ambient music scene. So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be carried away by the spellbinding beauty of "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill". You won't regret it.

About the artist

Grouper

Grouper, the enigmatic ambient project of Liz Harris, has been producing ethereal and haunting music since the mid-2000s. With a discography that is as vast as it is evocative, Grouper has carved out a unique space in the realm of experimental music. Harris' music is often characterised by its dream-like quality, with layers of reverb-drenched guitars and hushed vocals creating a sense of otherworldly beauty. Her songs have a hypnotic quality that draws listeners in and envelops them in a cocoon of sound. Grouper's latest album, "Ruins", is a testament to Harris' ability to create immersive and expansive sonic landscapes. The album sees her stripping back her sound to its bare essentials, with just a piano and her haunting vocals carrying the emotional weight of the music. Despite her years in the industry, Harris remains a mysterious figure, rarely giving interviews or appearing in public. This air of mystique only adds to the allure of Grouper's music, making each new release feel like a rare and precious gift. In a world saturated with cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured hits, Grouper stands out as a beacon of authenticity and artistry. With her beguiling music and enigmatic persona, Liz Harris has cemented her status as one of the most intriguing and innovative artists in the world of experimental music. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and allow yourself to be transported into the mesmerising world of Grouper.
