Grouper - albums poll

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

in a recent issue of Wire, there's a blurb with quotes from Liz Harris implying that Ruins is the last Grouper album, and that the project has been completed and the name will be retired. Harris' body of work is incomparable, and I love everything she's done dearly, but Alien Observer is an easy choice for me, palliative, spiritual, the core, the heart music. Grouper

man if ruins really is the last, i might not know what to do with myself. at least she'd go out with a bang

three weeks pass...

god this music is hard to listen to sometimes though, makes me so sad :-(

the late great, Thursday, 23 April 2015 06:01 (ten years ago)

feel like her default melancholy is in tune with mine - sadness yeah but liveable sadness - same sense of being inside a bubble

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

'way their crept' was the one i listened most, but in the long run 'cover the windows...' is better. went with this one - 'you never came' <3

Ah man wish the Water People/Moving Machine 12" was on here, that was everything to me in 2011.

I think it's really tough to beat Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill tbh.

Actually got tickets to see her play tomorrow night!

Anyone hear that Raum record with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma? I love that guys's latest record and I love Grouper so...

Looks accurate.

"Sleep" is extraordinary.

flappy bird, Monday, 4 May 2015 16:24 (ten years ago)

What is Rolling Gate? I think that's the only one I haven't heard

Karl Malone, Saturday, 9 May 2015 03:14 (ten years ago)

Part of the same "Violet Replacement" series as Sleep. Long form instrumental

flappy bird, Saturday, 9 May 2015 03:53 (ten years ago)

thankful for this music.

so glad i was wrong about her being done

flappy bird, Friday, 24 February 2017 04:24 (eight years ago)

eight years pass...

After years of mp3/streaming I came across a second hand copy of Ruins this morning. A great start of the day!
