This album completely shattered the way I think about music. Actress to me feels more like a painter than a musician at times and I think that always stuck with me. I also appreciate that on top of being conceptual it still has groove and swagger.

Liz Harris – the one-woman, do-it-all singer/songwriter/musician who essentially IS Grouper – is the sound of someone disappearing before your very eyes; an ache with no underlying injury; a whisper from an unseen voice. Such is the ephemeral ghostliness of her music, an intensely private form of expression captured within a very public context. If you took My Bloody Valentine’s layered collage of sounds and applied Low’s 4AD ambient acoustic surface to them (vs. Kevin Shields’ concussive, punishing feedback waves), you might be approaching the outer rings of Grouper’s orbit.
"On dreams I'm moving through heavy water/
The love is enormous, it's lifting me up/
I'd rather be sleeping."
Druggy, sexy, arty, pretty, but never pretentious. The sound of the waking dream.

aside from just being abrasive sonically, a lot of her early work just has this uncanny vibe that makes my skin crawl. i remember seeing her years ago at this festival in Houston and her visuals were like live two-headed goat births mixed with people washing guts off the decks of fishing ships and fetish videos. it was a lot haha. her stuff tends to be more pop/dance focused recently tho

she fucking rocks
if you like Throbbing Gristle/Chris & Cosey you’ll enjoy this
Fuzzy, hymnal vocals layered and weaved effortlessly into field recordings

When I was a kid, a friend and I walked to the beach and saw a shadowy figure wash up on the shore. First thinking it was a dead body (bad trip) we later realized that it was a mother sea turtle giving birth and then going back out into the sea. Probably the most beautiful thing i’ve witnessed to this day.

My dad gave me one of his books as a teen and at the time inspired my interest in psychedelics and just being curious about the nature of things. There are a lot of disputes about how real any of his novels are but that’s not particularly important to me. I find his stuff to be coded and poetic in a way that's both engaging and mysterious.

What can I say? I made a whole album about this and have no doubt this will continue to be my lifelong obsession. These colors are like no other.
