Explosions In The Sky at Wellmont Theater ( more by Toby Tenenbaum ) NYU students get a treat this Valentine's Day, a show from Explosions In The Sky ! The Texas post-rock quartet will join Grouper and Ducky for a Feb 14th NYU-students-only show (though it's "2 tickets per NYU ID"). The show will be seated on a first come, first serve basis and is a benefit for the Burton CHILL Foundation. Full details, including ticket information, below. [...]
Das wird nichts für ungeduldige Quasselstrippen: Vier ununterbrochene Stunden sind für die Darbietung eingeplant, die morgen Abend in der Alten Feuerwache (hinterm Ebertplatz) stattfinden soll . Liz Harris alias Grouper ist in den letzten Jahren vor allem durch jene ihrer Werke bekannt geworden, in denen ihre Traumzustand-Dronemusik stärkere Songzüge aufweist, doch Berichten wie diesem nach darf man das von ihrer gemeinsamen Circular Veil -Aufführung mit Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (The Alps, Tarentel) nicht erwarten. Eher eine im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ambiente Geräuschumgebung, die zum Driften in Eigeninitiative einlädt. Alle Informationen dazu gibt es [...]

Evian Christ was perhaps the first big surprise of 2012. Early in the year, we were engaged by the anonymous producer's deft use of samples and his refreshing take on the bass music coming out of the UK right now. After all the press his YouTube channel earned him, EC has started a new label called TriAngle and has released an mixtape called King and Them , featuring high quality versions of the tracks he's already put up online. Like before, the highlights are the Tyga and Grouper -sampling "Thrown Like Jacks" and [...]

This week's annunciation of the Academy Award nominees has me in an award-giving mood. I don't claim our weekly Top Tens are an award, per se, but these tracks did beat out a bunch of others from a week that was stacked with good mp3s, and that's gotta be worth something. When Arctic Monkeys covering Katy B doesn't make the final cut, you know you've got some pretty good candidates. Maybe it was by that same rationale that the academy didn't grace My Week With Marilyn with a Best Picture nod. But some part of me doubts that [...]

Have you been noticing a trend? That I only seem to be posting about female artists these days? It's my subconscious telling me to pick up a guitar and fulfill my childhood girl band dreams. I know it. Anyway, Grouper isn't something I'd typically dig, but there's something spooky and muffled about her that really gets to me. She recently covered Dead Moon's "Demona" for the latest issue of Yeti Magazine which includes a 73 which you can grab here. And listen, below. Grouper - Demona (Dead Moon)
Another quick round-up of our favourite new tracks gathered via all sources digital, via our in-box, our favourite blogs, the internet at large, and best of all those CDs that arrive out of the blue. This week we can offer you the Byrdsian jangle of White Fence's It Will Never Be , more high octane, clattering punk riffage from Terry Malts , Grouper's unique ethereal ambience comes to the fore on her take on Dead Moon's Demona , and then there is the elegant piano and guitar washes of [...]
It's always reassuring to hear an artist nail their sound, but it's also refreshing to hear an artist progress and develop their sound. What makes an artist stand out is when an artist is comfortable incorporating their old sound with their new sound, creating a mixture of both familiar and unfamiliar territory. A take on Dead Moon's "Demona" is still Grouper , but with some straightforwardness. The druggy, Clams Casino-like murkiness still wraps around Grouper's production. The voice is still buried in thick reverb and the guitar's distortion still stresses the song's mood. "Demona" is Grouper's take [...]
Portland's Liz Harris aka Grouper, has a new track which comes from a 4-song 7" from YETI Magazine #12. The track is a submerged, and remarkably beautiful cover of PDX punks, Dead Moon's, Demona. It's pretty amazing. Listen. Grouper; Demona (Dead Moon Cover)
Liz Harris aka Grouper kept busy through 2011 with two LPs and 123s and new projects ; by that clip I guess it's strange we've had to wait a full three weeks before she made a mark on 2012. So here it is, the long overdue dispatch from Grouper comes via this submerged and stretched cover of fellow PDX punks Dead Moon and their '89 cut " Demona ." Read More...
![[Listen] Grouper: "Demona" (Dead Moon Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4013520_lg.jpg)
No se ustedes, pero en lo personal, siempre disfruto mucho cada que aparecen nuevas grabaciones de Grouper y si no mal recuerdo, desde que editaron su mas reciente material el año pasado como que no habiamos tenido mucha informacion sobre ellos con excepcion, de que su vocalista me parece que estaba armando un nuevo proyecto del cual en su momento les llegue a poner algo por aqui pero hoy, enfoquemonos unicamente en Grouper ya que hace unos momentos se dio a conocer este cover que le hicieron a uno de los tracks de Dead Moon titulado "Demona" el cual, aparece [...]
While we patiently await the release of her devastatingly beautiful collaboration with Tiny Vipers , here's " dreampop slayer " Grouper 's decayed, blown-out new cover of Dead Moon 's 1989 song " Demona ," taken from the exclusive 73 that accompanies the latest edition of the always stellar YETI magazine . Listen below, and pick that up here . mp3: Grouper :: Demona (Dead Moon cover)
For those uninitiated in the world of Grouper , it's the solo project of American musician Liz Harris who creates vast complex soundscapes though ambient noises, field recordings as well as electronic and acoustic instruments. This is music that can stir deep emotion as well has having the ability to send you to sleep as the sounds flow over you. As well as her last two mini albums "Alien Observer" and "Dream Loss" you also have the amazing album "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill" and her seminal work [...]
