Grouper

A brief search didn't come up with this artist, but apologies if she is old news.

I found a track of hers called 'Stuck' on a free animal collective mix CD that came with their new album (exclusive to Rough Trade).
It is one of those beautiful slow growers that I can't stop listening to. Had trouble loading that particular track on last fm, but maybe others will have more luck. Some other great songs with that Cocteau Twins heartbreaking dark feel to them to be found.

I bookmarked her long ago but never got around to checking out. Perhaps I will soon.

Just bought this and the girl in the shop said exactly the same thing!

Guess I will say it too.

Grouper is just awesome. i have fallen so totally in love with her music over the past few months.

and this is really good.

I put on Grouper to fall asleep to many nights. Perfect.

I fell in love with her music yesterday. Been listening to her new album since. Perfect mix of ambient and shoegaze.

thought this was about the failed dating website, was disappointed.

Oooh! Me likey very much! And she's only 50 miles away from me! I love Portland!

Slightly unrelated, but when I first heard Tell Me What To Swallow by Crystal Castles I was floored...

and I've wanted to hear more music similar to that and here it is!

You guys all HAVE to watch these. Official videos set to beautiful cinematography and Lynchian imagery. Super Twin Peaks-y. Some exclusive Grouper tunes too.
