Grouper-Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill

Photobucket

Download(rapidshare)

" Portland, Oregon based Liz Harris might have achieved a significant fan base thanks to the whispering, near ambient vocal crusades of her debut album ‘Way Their Crept’ and its follow-up ‘Wide’, but those with a careful ear would have heard slightly more trapped beneath her fuzzy chain of effects. ‘Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill’ marks a departure of sorts for Liz which sees her turn down the fuzz-boxes which caged (and to some degree defined) her sound and allows her voice to ring out above everything else. It is an album steeped in the world of dream-pop, a genre pioneered by the likes of 4AD’s Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil, and far from shy away from the reference Liz has instead grabbed on with both hands, in the process creating an album’s worth of perfect, leftfield pop songs.

Using delicate song structures which are at once both familiar and alien somehow we hear her words cry out hauntingly over stripped down guitar lines and looped environmental recordings. Just listen to ‘I’d Rather be Sleeping’, a track that could be a mournful take on Belly, albeit with a more fragile heart. These unforgettable harmonies and vocal lines that embed themselves in your consciousness before you even realise it are the key to the album’s success and the reason why it makes such a lasting impression. There is something to Liz Harris’s music that defies the time, makes you sit up and listen in an age where we’re told that recorded music is disposable. These are the future soundtracks to love, despair and ultimately hope."

Well I feel really bad for putting this one up! With all that jazz that happened too Bradford Cox! But well he was eventually going to put it up so why not. This album is absolutely amazing, sounds a lot more like Atlas Sound. Which is good :D

Finally a band of black people that are influenced by the Cocteau Twins! The album is pretty damn interesting, some songs are kind of meh:/ But everlasting gobstopper and baby talk are pretty damn amazing, they have Robert Guthrie on guitar! Oh yeah, he also produced the album! Where can you go wrong with that?
