Grouper
Pacific-Northwest artist Liz Harris has only accrued more reverence over her 16-year career of drone, song, and guitar tenderness. 12 albums in, and while her music can be seen as simplicity itself – usually just one guitar and her voice home-recorded – Grouper threads a hidden radiant language of gentle disquiet, framed by open space and the sense of being far away. Her live shows are famous for transporting the audience to that same place.
Fittingly, new album, Shade – released in October 2021 via her longtime label, Kranky – is about respite, and the coast, poetically and literally. How we frame ourselves in a landscape, how in turn it frames us, and the memories and experiences carried forward mapping our connection to place. Brought to you from the Oregon coast to Skåne coast.
