Mr. Kranky is looking good this year – Mirrorring is a new project featuring Jesy Fortino of Tiny Vipers and Liz Harris (also known as Grouper). Ambient dream-tones is the name of the game, you should at least halfway know what to expect, folks. And while Kranky isn’t known for their ultra limited pressings by [...]
This 12″ is a limited pressing made for Social Music’s Record & Tape Club. It is available here individually for $12. If your head didn’t just explode then you forgot to read the word Grouper in the post title. Must grip – littleaxerecords.com (hint: click on Distributed Titles).
We’ll keep this one short. The two new Grouper albums, which disappeared instantly, are now available in short supply via Thrill Jockey and Forced Exposure. If you’ve been a fan of Liz Harris’ dark, dreamy drone in the past, you’ll love these too, they’re beautiful. They are priced at $18 at TJ and $19 at [...]
A few copies of the amazing Grouper 7″ from last year just showed up at Thrill Jockey. This is pretty much completely out of print, so grab it now before it’s gone forever. If you haven’t heard it, well, it’s amazing, it was on about half of the year-end lists I saw. Get one for [...]
These record clubs are pretty great – just pay upfront, then relax and get sent records for the next coupla months. And when the roster looks as good as this one does, it’s hard to pass up. We’re looking at exclusive vinyl releases from Sir Richard Bishop, The Bats, Califone, Cloudcraft, Noah Found Grace, Evan [...]
Announcing new Grouper vinyl for sale is usually followed by phrases like “already gone” but it appears that Room 40 is still taking pre-orders for this soon-to-be scarce 7″. Yeah, the price after shipping can be pretty outrageous depending on where you live, but it’s still well under what this will be going for on [...]
Root Strata just posted a huge update of new releases, and while it is definitely worth checking out everything (new book + DVD from Liz Harris aka Grouper anyone?), OMGV will simply touch on what is pertinent to the blog at hand. That being mainly two new vinyl releases – one from Duane Pitre and [...]
If you’re a Grouper fan, nothing will get your loins simmering quite like news about an upcoming vinyl release. Unless you already have the release in question, which is entirely possible. In that case, hopefully you didn’t pay too much for it on eBay because now you can pre-order the second edition of Wide with [...]
New vinyl from Grouper, bound to disappear quickly, so act accordingly. This is a split LP – one side featuring some live tunes with Roy Montgomery from a show with Grouper earlier this year and the other side featuring new material from Liz Harris herself (could it be these two new tracks on her Myspace?). [...]
The upstanding folks at Root Strata have just announced their intent to produce an a capella 7″ series in 4 parts. Yes, an a capella 7″ series, as in “vocals only”. This is Root Strata after all, and of course they’ve managed to pull together a pretty impressive roster of artists; Grouper, Christina Carter, Richard [...]
