I lived in Tacoma Washington back around 2011, and ended up doing a bit of freelance music journalism. I was tasked with reviewing Grouper, which proved to be one of the best experiences I ever had. I don't know if I ever would have found out about LIz Harris and her incredible music if not for that gig. It's absolutely transformative. Needless to say my review was unabashedly gushing, and I didn't care.
shade is out! I loved it so so much. Very up there. I haven't heard every Grouper album but it's in the top 3. It was first for a bit, but i don't know what awaits me in her discography.
I was there too!!! One of my las Primavera Sounds and one of my favourite times in 10 editions. How happy I am to be able to remember this concert. Thanx!!!!
Thanks for this video, I loved seeing it live but being the end of Primavera I kept falling asleep. Though, it's probably the best music to be slightly hazy for. It's a beaut!
Anyone know what her equipment is in this set? Specifically curious what she's noodling with in the fadeout of the first one after she stops playing the piano
Tape loops. She usually has about 4 cassette recorders (walkmans) in her live setup. What you hear are different layers of cassette tape stacked upon each other, and most probably used in conjunction with delay and reverb pedals. It's a delicate dance, where new sounds constantly join in, as others take back seat within this moving frame. Like the scenery from behind the windows of a moving train. The trees speed on by, while the distant mountain always remains.
all of it.at the same time. hey, that would be a good one...4 of yr friendz press 'play' when priest(judging by yr name,you were probably raised cat-holic) startz with hiz pseudo-magik mumbo-jumbo. using a funeral as subversion..hehe.

People who know/understand Grouper give me hope for the future.

My favourite female singer
That "Alien Observer performance" is like an astral travel.

Hello friend then... ')
Она просто чудо 🩶
Её песни это утешение моей души...

alien observer
poison tree
come softly
the set consists in extended versions of those three songs

I’ve looked everywhere for the extended poison tree. It doesn’t even sound similar. Id love to find it
@@blkhrt3922 i think she only does this live
I bet whoever she accidentally made eye contact with that night felt like a million bucks ,
Pseudonym No man, like a bitcoin 😄

can you post the link to your review?
@@parv6683 I'll try, but that was a long time ago... recalling the name of the blog is proving to be a difficult experience. LOL
Did you find it? I wanna read it too
@@davipereira5042 no. I couldn't find the website. Kind of a bummer, because I wrote a bunch of reviews for that online music magazine.
Have you found it??
I saw her this summer (2015) live in Helsinki and became an instant fan. And the week after emptied the local record store of her music
I envy you
watching this in preparation for the new album, absolutely stunning artist that I can’t believe I didn’t find sooner.

All her music brings back memories from when I used to listen to Grouper when I was still at schooll 😎
Listening to this while in my school library. So beautiful.
I love the black and white effect you put on it.
It's mandatory that all Grouper videos and images are in B&W.
I was there and liz hypnotized me
Reminds me of the incidental music of Wagner. Dreamy emotional, evoking future action, Patient and moving. Thanks Liz.
Very talented woman.
Her music saved me
That is "Come Softly" at 20:50!!!
Astonishingly deep. A falling angel.
almohadillaseisefes Deeply Astonishing ;)
Grouper makes me love myself for being a sentimental "cheesy" person
ur gonna make me cry
Thank you for being my inspiration in the darkness. I thank you for your work.
Really original woman
I was there too!!! One of my las Primavera Sounds and one of my favourite times in 10 editions. How happy I am to be able to remember this concert. Thanx!!!!
We are capable of such beautiful dreams, and such terrible nightmares.
Juste parfait, j'adore cette décente dans les bas fond de la mélancolies.
i like music very sad but makes me feel less alonely. Do you has my feeling too?
all the time
yes! beautiful words...
same
Music is the way of communication and conversation..metaphysically..so..
Yessss
argh my fave musician/artist
+Luke Anthony Same man.. so stunning
nice profile pic :P
+WilÅkeProj. You too :) Grouper and The Angelic Process go hand in hand, they evoke the same stunning emotional and spirithal feelings
Yup! Both are catharsis incarnate
WilÅkeProj. Couldn't agree more
Not nearly long enough. I'm not complaining but damn I really want an hour when I see her in June.
stunning ....
thank you.
I love you all.
I started this video and the next thing I remember is waking up the next morning.
This is what dreams are made of.
10:32 *Broken feelings*
just wow.
Thanks for this video, I loved seeing it live but being the end of Primavera I kept falling asleep. Though, it's probably the best music to be slightly hazy for. It's a beaut!
Thank you for uploading this, great quality.
This so much relaxing
Every night since 2014
can she please come to seattleeeeeeee
A Grouper concert a day keeps the doctor away
What a gifted mind
Dark Souls character creation theme.
The Big Stink I vibe
that one 9/8 bar really does recall that piece
"Praise the sun!"
Could any of the commited fans of Grouper share a playlist or idea of which album(s) these songs belong to? Thanks!
alien observer (aia), poison tree (split with inca ore), come softly (aia)
Cassandra Tanko
thanks a lot!
Did you become fall into her discography?
I LOVE IT!!!!
I hear you
she often says she doesnt like giving concerts :c
her song is my post-apocalyptic soundtrack
yess I finally got to find a liver version with just her voice, her keyboard, and her
liver
It's the sleep horizon
Yes
Wow
I wanna see her collab with Julianna Barwick
+Jonathan Britt Listen to her collab with Tiny Vipers, Mirroring, it's awesome!
I'd like to here her collaborations with the TeXas Doom Band LecH!
This reminds me of LecH's song Waterwalker.....
They played together at the Guggenheim years ago. Amazing show
Her music takes me to another world, when i hear her songs I imagine that I am floating in space and that's enough to make me happy 🤍

Someone knows the name of music played at 8:00 and foward?
poison tree I think if I’m not wrong
Good god
Is this real?
The postrock feeling is strong. Its like we look up to sky and do nothing while a planet killer asteroid is crashing down
Do any grouper fans know what song is at the 14:50 mark?
I think it is Poison Tree.
poison tree
What is the song starts in 14:00?
Its poison tree
Track before "Come Softly", starting around minute 15:00?
Poison Tree. The whole set is just extended live versions of 3 songs- Alien Observer, Poison Tree and Come Softly.

Does anyone know the names of the songs that she played in the video ?
alien observer, poison tree, come softly 🌚
Goth Enya :)

He tino ataahua te wahine nei
Liz is really a lost soul...
Yeah, kind of..
+PatFromHell a beautiful soul
+RoboCrono no
Not all those who wander are lost.
no such thing as soul...
my dream song: coldplay feat grouper
Karen Hapuck nahhh they’re too into pop now
@@turbulencebeats3443 but they could
Coldplay is everything Grouper doesn't want to be. Can't think of a worse collaboration.
