Top Ten Records of 2008: January - June

Top Ten Records of 2008: January - June For some of you, each weekend is a new opportunity to do something exciting and life-affirming. For worthless cretins like myself, it's just another two days in the middle of my work week. Hopefully you will pick up the slack and do something doubly entertaining for the both of us. I'm with you in spirit, people. I mean that in the sense that I've broken into all your homes and left a load in your hair while you were sleeping. I...have a lot of free time to travel. It was not my intention to open today's post with [...]

Grouper: Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill (2008)

Grouper: Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill (2008) New Wax Grouper is Portland songwriter Liz Harris, and information on her is somewhat scarce so the music will have to do the talking. Listening to her new album Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill feels like a Vicodin-induced haze. Like that time I flipped my car on the interstate and wrecked my arm and they gave me enough pills to numb a killer whale. Grouper's new album is chalk-full of beautiful bedroom melodies cloaked with enough murk to create a sustained sense of melancholy. [...]

i'd rather be sleeping… from portland, oregon, grouper creates delicate music perfect for dark late nights. sounding as if surrounded inside a crowd full of sullen angels, liz harris has released her third album dragging a dead deer up a hill . cleared aside from her past noise efforts, grouper lightly conveys in the beauty of gentle acoustics, electric piano keys and layered soft melodies that weave in and out, exposing hidden vulnerabilities within an intense bedroom-recorded atmosphere. l i s t e n heavy water/id rather be sleeping [...]

Grouper

Grouper HANK ALTOGETHER/ Grouper is Elizabeth Harris. You probably remember this poem by William Stafford from an English lit class you took once upon a time: "Traveling through the Dark" Traveling through the dark I found a deer dead on the edge of the Wilson River road. It is usually best to roll them into the canyon: that road is narrow; to swerve might make more dead. By glow of [...]

Grouper, Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill (Type)

First time I encountered the records of Grouper I was more than a little worried about what would happen to the girl who appeared to be trapped down the well. She sounded distressed, and quite a long way down. Fortunately, it sounds like Sting stopped scratching his tantric bollocks for long enough to answer the [...]

Grouper :: Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill

Grouper :: Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill I'm actually wide awake this morning, something I haven't been able to do in weeks it seems. What a way to kick of an otherwise typical Monday than with this downright beautiful song that was posted on Gorilla vs. Bear recently from Portland's Grouper , aka Liz Harris. I'm not really familiar with her music, so any kind of useful information is some what scarce. Her new third album, Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill , was recently released on the newly revived Type Records . Though i've [...]

Grouper - Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill Grouper Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill (06.2008, Type) Verdict = Dreamy and blissfully accessible After last year's maddeningly limited yet gloriously beautiful Cover the Windows and the Walls LP through the wonderful Root Strata imprint, Liz Harris' Grouper project is back and this time around things are increasingly accessible in more ways than one. First off, as the second release this year from the rejuvenated Type label (he first being the incredible Float by Peter Broderick), you can rest at ease knowing that Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill [...]

Grouper

Grouper Liz Harris' latest record revives the Type records line up from their hiatus in fine fashion. Peeking forward out of the omnipresent fog that has typically shrouded her work; Harris' voice is gently lifted into the clearing making this her most expressive and emotional album yet. With a title like Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill I'd definitely gone in with dark expectations but it turns out just the opposite is true. This is the lightest and most deliriously dreamy Grouper album yet, and it just so happens that these are all pleasant dreams. With the gentle [...]

i'd rather be sleeping

i'd rather be sleeping Grouper 's overwhelmingly beautiful (and unfortunately titled) new LP, Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill , has turned into something of a late night staple around here over the last week or so. Give this one your time, as there are some subtly gorgeous melodies to be found floating just below the murky depths, and Liz Harris ' transcendent vocals always lend some hope to the hazy sadness. The impossibly heart-wrenching " Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping " has quickly become one of my favorite songs of '08: [...]

Grouper

Grouper I stumbled upon Grouper randomly perusing some blogs I keep in my bookmarks. I downloaded it on a whim as it was described as ambient/folk/shoegaze. Interested in seeing how folky shoegaze would sound, I listened to the first track and knew that I had found something special. "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill" is the 3rd album from Portland based musician Liz Harris. To define her music as folky shoegaze is incomplete. Her songs exist as hazy memories, lacking in detail, yet full enough to trigger a nexus of emotions difficult to describe. The instrumentation is mostly limited to [...]

New Grouper - "Disengaged" & "Heavy Water / I'd Rather Be Sleeping"

New Grouper - "Disengaged" & "Heavy Water / I'd Rather Be Sleeping" In the pre-SXSW installment of the Outsiders, I posted "Invisible" by Grouper, aka Liz Harris. The song came from her then unreleased Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill , which finally arrived yesterday and is a stunner. Harris's past collections -- Way Their Crept and Wide -- were noisier than this new one and she's upped her vocals in the mix. You might think a bit of fellow Oregon resident (and shop owner ) Valet, but with bedroom-recorded Cocteau Twins or Dead Can Dance atmospherics, less acid-dripped psychedelics. Or, as a [...]

A Scribe On Daily Life

A Scribe On Daily Life Ah, Tuesdays. My Fridays. Ever since I started working at the record store five days a week, I look to Tuesday the way many regular working stiffs do Friday. For me, a weekend is Wednesday/Thursday. Next to the pay, it's probably the thing I dislike most about my job. Still, I push on; I endure it because I pretty much have to. Also, I like the fact that I get to see a lot of very weird artifacts that -- as a music obsessed individual -- I would otherwise never get to see, no matter how long I live. Like, [...]

The Outsiders: Vol. 8 - Special SXSW Edition

The Outsiders: Vol. 8 - Special SXSW Edition Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's eclectic virtual milk crate contains a few SXSW suggestions. . A bunch of bands are currently getting a bunch of SXSW attention. A bunch aren't. The following haven't been grabbing the biggest headlines, but they just might blow you away if you part the hype a little. Thing is, once I started scratching the surface, taking day [...]

I'm Thankful...

I'm Thankful... "Here, take these blankets. No Smallpox, I promise!" Happy Thanksgiving to all. I hope everyone is celebrating in the company of friends or loved ones. The slightly anorexic voice inside me is begging me to tell you, "Do not over-eat," but I guess if you're going to gorge yourself on tasty, savory foodstuffs, today would be the day to do it. Here's a brief list of things I am thankful for this year. I can't be bothered to devote a lot of time or thought to this today, because I doubt anyone is spending their holiday [...]

Grouper - Cover the Windows and the Walls

Grouper - Cover the Windows and the Walls Grouper Cover The Windows And The Walls (2007, Roots Strata) 10.0/10.0 Grouper is the musical mystery of Portland native Liz Harris. With a purposely limited palette Harris has created and spectral feast that relies completely on her vocals after they are drowned in reverb and manipulated with multiple layers and effects, with occasional guitar and piano strumming or plunking their way along like a noble lapdog. The simple idea of it has always been a strong persuasion for me but has, up to this point, fallen slightly short of what [...]
