grouper: the man who died in his boat


Liz Harris' forthcoming album is a collection of unreleased tracks. The eleven songs on this record sound much more like ballads than her recent work. Beautiful, dark and haunting as usual. In addition, Kranky reissue Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill initially released by Grouper in 2008.
