Our Take

Groupers's latest release "Ruins" takes listeners on a mesmerizing journey through dreamy landscapes and hazy soundscapes. It's like floating in a cloud made of pure sonic bliss. Liz Harris, the mastermind behind Grouper, continues to bewitch with her hauntingly beautiful vocals and ethereal melodies.

From the opening track "Made of Air" to the closing notes of "Holding," "Ruins" is a sonic masterpiece that showcases Harris's unparalleled ability to mesmerize and enchant. The album's sparse instrumentation allows for Harris's vocals to take centre stage, wrapping listeners in a warm embrace of melancholic beauty.

Tracks like "Lighthouse" and "Clearing" showcase Grouper at their most vulnerable, with Harris's voice gently guiding you through a world of introspection and self-discovery. The delicate piano and guitar melodies perfectly complement Harris's haunting vocals, creating a mesmerizing listening experience that is both introspective and cathartic.

"Ruins" is a testament to Grouper's unique ability to craft music that is both ethereal and deeply emotional. It's a truly transcendent experience that will leave you breathless and yearning for more. Grouper has once again proven why they are at the forefront of the ambient music scene, and "Ruins" is a shining example of their unparalleled talent. Simply put, "Ruins" is a masterpiece that begs to be explored and cherished.

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.
