Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill

The late noughties released some of the best hazy psych pop.  And this album is the pinnacle. Ambient, ethereal, stripped back sonic density. - Sophie

Repressing of this 2008 album from Liz Harris AKA Grouper. This album marked a departure of sorts for Liz, which sees her turn down the fuzz boxes which caged her sound and allows her voice to ring out above everything else a bit more than before. An album steeped in the world of dream-pop - a genre pioneered by the likes of Cocteau Twins & This Mortal Coil & far from shying away from the reference, Liz has instead grabbed on w/ both hands, creating an album's worth of perfect, left-field pop songs.
