Here’s a characteristically gorgeous new exploration from Portland’s Grouper, made exclusively for Antiopic‘s expansive and amazing Benefit for the Recovery in Japan charity compilation. The hushed, haunting “Cassiopeia” is a somber piano dirge that finds Liz Harris at her most fragile, but, like all of her most moving work, also possesses the faintest glimmer of hope:
Grouper :: Cassiopeia
In addition to this stunning Grouper song, Antiopic’s massive Benefit for the Recovery of Japan comp features 64 tracks from the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, Fennesz, Prefuse 73, Tim Hecker, and many more. Get it here; 100% of the proceeds will go to the recovery and relief effort in Japan.
Yo
I’m a hot and bothered astronaut, crashing while jacking off
to buffering vids of Asher Roth eating apple sauce
Sent to earth to poke Catholics in the ass with saws
and knock blunt ashes into their caskets and laugh it off
Twist is sicker than mad cattle, in fact I’m off
six different liquors with a prince wig plastered on
Stop screaming bitch, you shouldn’t be that alarmed
that big lips was in the attic ???s with an addicts arm
Earl puts the ass in assassin
and puts the pieces of decomposing bodies in plastic
puts em in a pan and mixes it up with scat
then gobbles it up like fat black bitches and catfish
It so happens that I’m so haphazardous,
I’d puke a piece and put it on (???)
I’m askin that you faggot rap actors take action
and get a hall pass for this class act shit
How the fuck I fit an ax in a satchel?
Slip capsules in her glass, she dizzy rascal
Party staff baffled, asking where her ass go
In my room redefining the meaning of black hos
and go on, suck it up, but hurry i’ve got nuts to bust
and ?????
and sluts to fucking uppercut
Its OF, buttercup, go ahead, fuck with us
Without a doubt a surefire way to get your mother fucked
Ask her for a couple bucks, shove a trumpet up her butt
Play a song, invade her thong my dick is having guts for lunch
as well as supper, then i’ll rummage through a ruptured cunt
found them ? fuckin nosy neighbors know that somethings up
Whatcha doing? Nothing much
Would shout some other stuff – gotta fucking bounce, guess the bouncers had enough of us
