{"product_id":"grouper-aia-alien-observer","title":"Grouper - AIA: Alien Observer","description":"\u003cp\u003eKranky offers up the first vinyl editions of sister A I A albums subtitled \u003cem\u003eDream Loss\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e Alien\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eObserver\u003c\/em\u003e since their initial self-released pressing quickly went out of print in 2011. A chronological order informs the thematic trajectory of the dual release. \u003cem\u003eDream Loss\u003c\/em\u003e is the first album and is a collection of older songs, while\u003cem\u003e Alien Observer\u003c\/em\u003e is mostly made of newer songs. Each is meant to stand solidly on its own, and also as a satellite in the other's system, subjects on either side of the water's surface, on either side of a trick mirror; at times reflecting one back to the other, at times looking straight through to the other. Suffice it to say that Liz Harris has created an exquisite sonic universe where she is the sole inhabitant, and we should consider it a privilege to listen in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This music feels both spacey and expansive and also oddly intimate and grounded, the work of someone who has mastered her tools and knows how to get the most out of them.\" – Pitchfork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This sound \/ synapse transposition is as haunting as it is beautiful – surely Grouper's best.\" – Tiny Mix Tapes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoon is Sharp\u003cbr\u003eAlien Observer\u003cbr\u003eVapor Trails\u003cbr\u003eShe Loves Me That Way\u003cbr\u003eMary on the Wall\u003cbr\u003eCome Softly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46408731558062,"sku":"796441822416","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/gr_fab54979-c3e1-4dae-9da2-1d9446c7d578.jpg?v=1745275480","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/grouper-aia-alien-observer","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
