Grouper - Way Their Crept [Reissue] Vinyl Record

For the first time in more than fifteen years, the debut album Way Their Crept by Grouper is being made available on LP and CD, reissued in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the original release. The first in a series of ineffable solo albums and collaborations that have come since, these are the initial sounds widely shared by the artist on a long journey of explorations that continue to this day."This is ambient music that refuses to simply wash over the listener; it's a riptide dragging you under." -The New Yorker "Within the carefully pared back framework, [Liz] Harris creates a subtle tension and release that forms the emotional core of the album." -Crack Magazine "These songs are easy to feel but hard to remember, like they're trying to wipe your mind clean and succeeding. And while there has to be something distinct about Harris's sound, you can spend hours rolling it around inside your head, searching for secret ingredients that might not exist." -The Washington Post "The chain reaction these songs generate together produces enough fog and smoke to keep the spell going strong-and to keep whatever secret she's trying to tell us just on the other side of the speakers." -Pitchfork "Each track sounds, in the best possible way, like it was never meant to be heard outside of the room in which it was recorded." -New York Times
