Ruins
“Ruins is Grouper's "unplugged" record, essentially, as much as that might sound odd for a musician who has always put acoustic guitar and piano and voice at the core of her work. Here she foreswears the looping pedals and the innumerable layers of fuzz, and what we're left with is achingly beautiful.”
The Man Who Died In His Boat
“Liz Harris' newest collection of charred ambiance is a companion to 2008's Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill recorded during the same period. The gorgeous and haunting The Man Who Died in His Boat shares many of that earlier record's characteristics and essential appeal.”
Shade
“Recorded over the last 15 years, and alternating between stripped-down folk and thickets of distortion, Shade takes Grouper’s careful balance between intimacy and inscrutability to a new extreme.”
