Grouper has released a surprise 7-inch titled Paradise Valley. This is a great holiday treat, as Liz Harris hasn’t released anything as Grouper since 2014’s excellent LP Ruins (although her band Helen released an album last year).
Paradise Valley’s single “I’m Clean Now” is a beautiful return-to-form for Harris, featuring her trademark airy vocals and hazy guitar. The 7-inch is unfortunately already sold out, but you can check out “I’m Clean Now” here and read Pat Beane’s track write-up here. Elegant little cherry on top of 2016.
