Our beloved Liz Harris lobbed her pianos in the bin & set about strumming her way into our hearts instead.

Be wary though – it’s a raw, vulnerable & intrusively fragile affair. One that will reverberate through your bones, course through your veins & set your soul ablaze

Devastatingly vulnerable experimental folk work from the absolute queen of gossamer drone pop. The 12th full-length by Pacific Northwest artist Liz Harris aka Grouper is a collection of songs spanning 15 years.She characterizes Shade as an album about respite, and the coast, poetically and literally. How we frame ourselves in a landscape, how in turn it frames ourselves; memories and experiences carried forward mapping our connection to place. — An ode to blue / What lives in shade — Songs touch on loss, flaws, hiding places, love. Deep connections to the Bay Area, and the North Coast, with its unique moods of solitude, beauty, and isolation—a place described and transformed by the chaos and power of river-mouth, wild maritime storms, columns of mist that rise up unexpectedly on the road at night. Portions were recorded on Mount Tamalpais during a self-made residency years back, other pieces made longer ago in Portland, while the rest were tracked during more recent sessions in Astoria. Throughout, Harris threads a hidden radiant language of voice, disquiet, and guitar, framed by open space and the sense of being far away. Echoing a lighthouse, burying the faults of being human / Into things that we project upon the sky at night.
