Grouper - AIA: Dream Loss - VINYL LP

For the first time in more than fifteen years, the debut album Way Their Crept by Grouper is being made available on LP and CD, reissued in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the original . The first in a series of ineffable solo albums and collaborations that have come since, these are the initial sounds widely shared by the artist on a long journey of explorations that continue to this day.InchThis is ambient music that refuses to simply wash over the listener; it's a riptide dragging you under.Inch -The New Yorker InchWithin the carefully pared back framework, [Liz] Harris creates a subtle tension and that forms the emotional core of the album.Inch -Crack Magazine InchThese songs are easy to feel but hard to remember, like they're trying to wipe your mind clean and succeeding. And while there has to be something distinct about Harris's sound, you can spend hours rolling it around inside your head, searching for secret ingredients that might not exist.Inch -The Washington Post InchThe chain reaction these songs generate together produces enough fog and smoke to keep the spell going strong-and to keep whatever secret she's trying to tell us just on the other side of the speakers.Inch -Pitchfork InchEach track sounds, in the best possible way, like it was never meant to be heard outside of the room in which it was recorded.Inch -New York Times

This sound / synapse transposition is as haunting as it is beautiful-surely Grouper's best.-Tiny Mix TapesInchIf past Grouper releases have inhabited abyssal trenches and damp backwoods, here Harris takes us journeying across constellations and stars. Two of the most beguiling albums of the year, exquisitely realized and singularly evocative.Inch -The Quietus InchThis music feels both spacey and expansive and also oddly intimate and grounded, the work of someone who has mastered her tools and knows how to get the most out of them.Inch-PitchforkInchHarris finds a way to dive deeper in simple and unassuming ways.Inch-NPR
