Grouper is the solo project of American musician, artist and producer Liz Harris. With a career spanning over two decades, Grouper has established herself as a prominent figure in the experimental music scene. Known for her ethereal and haunting soundscapes, Grouper's music transcends traditional genres, creating a unique sonic experience for listeners.

Throughout her career, Grouper has collaborated with various artists, including Xiu Xiu, Tiny Vipers (Mirrorring), Roy Montgomery, The Bug, Lawrence English (Slow Walkers), and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (Raum). These collaborations have allowed Grouper to explore new musical territories and push the boundaries of her own artistic expression.

With a discography that spans numerous albums and EPs, Grouper's music continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Her introspective lyrics combined with atmospheric instrumentation create an immersive listening experience that resonates deeply with fans. If you're a fan of artists such as Tim Hecker, Julianna Barwick or Oneohtrix Point Never, then Grouper's unique blend of ambient and experimental sounds will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.

Made in Aljezur, Portugal in 2011 on a residency set up by Galeria Ze dos Bois. Everything was recorded there, save the last song, which Grouper recorded at her mother's house.  Recorded pretty simply, with a portable 4-track, Sony stereo mic &amp; an upright piano.
