Grouper’s Alien Observer
Thanks to an anonymous commenter for pointing out that Grouper‘s much anticipated new 2xLP A I A can now be previewed at Amazon UK. Head over there to listen to clips from Dream Loss + Alien Observer. In other Liz Harris news, she has contributed a new song called “Cassiopeia” to Antiopic / Thrill Jockey’s massive 5-hour Benefit for the Recovery in Japan compilation. Download the 64 song (!) compilation — which also features Oneohtrix Point Never, Prefuse 73, Tim Hecker, and many more — here for $15; all proceeds go to Japanese emergency response organization Civic Force.
thanks for the shout out Gorilly-poo! moreover thanks for introducing me to Grouper when “Dragging a Dead Deer…” came out!
regarding the album preview, did you cum in your pants?!
I’ve been obsessed with this live show “bootleg” for a while (http://bit.ly/aMRIa) and it sounds like of lot of it is on the new albums! yay!
Very nice! But every single one of these songs starts the same… =/
Anyone else having trouble with downloading the Benefit for the Recovery in Japan compilation ?
Previews of drone tracks really don’t do much, but thanks for the heads up. Definitely looking forward to the release. SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC THIS YEAR HOLY SHIT. I really only started following music since late 2009 so everything this year is exponentially more exciting than 2010.
she also released a live track on another earthquake benefit comp done by yr buds at RQ http://rosequartz.blogspot.com/p/christchurch.html
