#2 out of 10
Year: 2008
Genre: Atmospheric Acoustic Drone
Label: Type Records
TRT: 45:41
Liz Harris has been creating static-drenched drone albums for several years now, but with this release, she progresses her sound further than ever. Instead of focusing on the guitars and the feedback, these elements act as a cocoon of sorts, a framework of sounds that support her quiet vocal stylings and acoustic guitar strumming. The result is warm and inviting, and very relaxing, while maintaining a certain quality of unease to challenge your comfort level and keep you engrossed.
I was not at all surprised to find out Grouper hails from the same Portland music scene as Valet.

sounds extremely interesting.. Will be checking out.
Interested in this one. The Media Fire file that comes up for this is [2007]Turning Dragon. It may be a mislabel, but I've already got that one and don't want to download it again.
sorry everyone, the link is fixed.
Haha, seems that I've downloaded this before and just managed to get it lost before even taking time to listen. How smart of me..
