Grouper – Ruins LP Online Sale

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 release from singer songwriter Liz Harris AKA Grouper. RUINS is the follow-up to 2013 s THE MAN WHO DIED IN HIS BOAT. Similar to TMWDIHB, RUINS tracks mostly dates back to recordings made in Portugal in 2011, during a residency from the Galeria Ze dos Bois. The album channels a lot of political anger and emotional garbage she was experiencing at the time, and was recorded using little more than a 4-track, a stereo mic and an upright piano. There s been plenty of Harris-related activity to get into this year, with Harris working with filmmaker Paul Clipson to produce HYPNOSIS DISPLAY, and she also appears on the intoxicating opening track to the Bug s ANGELS AND DEVILS album.
