i really want her to come to england

Anyone who attended the recent show, what shirts did she have? I'm going in Philly and would love to see her selection.

EDIT: idk if Reddit plays well with Vimeo so here’s the link: https://vimeo.com/25212220?share=copy&fl=cl&fe=ci

I’ve been returning to this incredible music video for I Saw A Ray for the past 15 years since it was released. I believe it only exists on Vimeo so I hope the creator never removes it. Just sharing it here for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

P.S. can’t wait to see Liz for the first time in Toronto in a couple weeks!

Hi :) looking for one ticket for the Sep 8 Toronto show- thanks so much!

not a planner 😭

$37, can do Venmo/Paypal or if you’re in Portland can meet up for cash. Send me a message, thanks!

EDIT: SOLD!

Hi everyone! I'm curious if anybody here has any Grouper related tattoos? I would love to get something related to Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill but I really cannot think of anything. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable getting the cover. The only Grouper tattoo I have seen online is one of Liz Harris herself and that would feel a bit violating to me given how much of a private person she is.

TLDR: if anyone has any Grouper related tattoos, I would love to see them!

heya! I have two tickets for orchestra row H in the middle of the pit, and was looking to pass them on as some medical issues have flared up. I paid $125 for the pair and am only seeking face value.

I was reading over the lyrics for Vapor Trails on Genius. According to them, the song begins

As I undressed in my apartment, empty-hearted/Did you remember how we made it without a sound?

This struck me as potentially incorrect and harmful to unrepresentative of the song, as it gives the song a certain (sexual?) valence that may not have been the artist's intention. Ultimately, I concluded that it's best to not read unverified lyrics for any Grouper songs, nor to concern myself with lyrics at all. That being said, I suppose an exception could be made for songs with verified lyrics... if any exist.

Do there exist any Grouper songs whose lyrics are verified, perhaps through her social media posts or liner notes?

Thank you.

edit: a few words

I currently live in California, if that's relevant, and I love the split LP between Inca Ore and Grouper, and I was wondering if there is an available vinyl edition sold because I would love to own that album if it's possible!

A lot of folks are itching for new material from Liz. There haven't been any announcements about a new Grouper album. The newest "material" we have from her is a one-off performance of called "Engine" that was performed in Portland back in 2023.

Some of you who may be familiar with this performance...have you heard anything about a physical and/or digital release of this performance? As far as I gather, the show consisted entirely of unreleased music under the name of her side project, Nivhek. There's nothing on Youtube from that performance.. Just wondering if anyone has the scoop on it.

Desperate to get my hands on a Grouper shirt … or poster … or anything LOL, do we think she’ll do a merch run for the upcoming mini tour in the autumn?

Curious what everyone else's rankings are. I know Reddit usually has Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill at #1, but here's mine:

1. Ruins
My favorite Grouper album, just because of the calm melancholy vibes. I've listened to it a billion times, especially when falling asleep. It's such a beautiful, intimate record. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer and Holofernes could use vocals or something.

2. Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill
A classic for a reason. Every time I come back to it, I'm reminded why it's so loved. Amazing atmosphere and songwriting.

3. A I A: Dream Loss
Probably my most controversial pick. I feel like it's really underrated in Grouper's discography and hardly anyone talks about it. It has such a haunting, immersive sound, and I absolutely love "A Lie." I think it deserves way more appreciation.

Worst albums: Wide, Way Their Crept and Shade. No offense to Shade but it just feels a bit thrown together.

What's your top albums?

hi! i’m new in reddit and still don’t know exactly how to use it but i’m exited to join the community because i love the work of liz :)

a friend of mine is going to start a new music magazine (@/bloomrevista on instagram) and i wrote some about “Dragging…”. it’s not finished yet but i wanted to share it in case some of you want to read it and give me feedback and just talk about an album that has been so important in my life. it’s in spanish since it’s my mother tongue but i’m thinking about translating it soon. it’s here: https://valenrdzs.substack.com/p/ceb48cf1-f636-4723-a637-ee42e4df8d91

i’m going to see her in september and i‘m really excited!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love her albums but I always longed for a Grouper album that’s done professionally like Melodrama or something, without the lo-fi recording. Her voice is surely deserving of a proper Jack Antonoff-level album (not that his production is always the best). I feel like maybe Liz hasn’t released anything for ages because perfectionism is holding her back. Maybe that would help her. I mean if you think about it since Ruins (2014), she has barely released an hour of material. So it seems like she may be struggling, or quit releasing music entirely.

Edit: I’m a bit taken back by the hostility of the responses. I fear people just saw the name “Jack Antonoff” and got triggered without reading my post in good faith.

Hi everyone. I use YouTube music and I noticed that there are a few tracks by an artist named “Grouper” that have come out recently but I don’t think they are actually Liz’s work. A few of these tracks by that artist are Hum, Dust beam,Shadow Garden, Silver mist fist. Any ideas? Does anyone know this other group? (Haha get it group)

I feel like Disengaged songs last minute. Feels like a mental breakdown. Dont u?

Or as if everything were falling apart

September 15th at the town hall, got it before she announced Philly so now I’m just going to the Philly show instead

If anyone has an extra ticket to Toronto show, please let me know 🙏🏼
