Bleep

Grouper’s 2011 LP A I A: Dream Loss gets reissued by Kranky. This is a set of brooding dreamstate-rock from the one born Liz Harris. The tracks here work in Harris’ signature style - at their core they are rock songs that are not dissimilar to, say, Angel Olsen’s work, but by treating them with delay and static Harris actually ushers them into a space that is closer to Stars Of The Lid. Even though almost a decade has passed since A I A: Dream Loss was given its first release, the ethereal power of tracks like ‘Wind Return’ and ‘No Other’ remains potent.
