For the first time in more than 15 years, the debut album by Grouper is being made available on LP and CD, reissued in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the original release.
The first in a series of ineffable solo albums and collaborations that have come since, these are the initial sounds widely shared by the artist on a long journey of explorations that continue to this day.
Press Quotes for previous Grouper releases:
"This is ambient music that refuses to simply wash over the listener; it’s a riptide dragging you under.” - The New Yorker
"The chain reaction these songs generate together produces enough fog and smoke to keep the spell going strong—and to keep whatever secret she’s trying to tell us just on the other side of the speakers.” – Pitchfork
“Each track sounds, in the best possible way, like it was never meant to be heard outside of the room in which it was recorded." - New York Times
