Grouper has a new album out today, Shade, which I haven’t yet had the chance to listen to, but am expecting to thoroughly enjoy if it’s anything like Pale Interior, which is a bleakly compelling as you’d expect. She manages to make devastation – complete and unending – something you not only endure as a listener, but yearn for: a black pit that only deepens and darkness the further you fall.
Happy Friday!
