In a short space of time, Portland-based Liz Harris has become the name on the lips of the underground music world having captured hearts worldwide with her distinct blend of noise, ambience and a dream-pop sensibility. She submerges her songs in a shimmering haze of hiss, looping chorals and decomposed guitar feedback, but somewhere in there you can hear the ghosts of My Bloody Valentine or possibly Slowdive. This latest 7” takes her sound one step further still; ‘Tried’ is one of the most overtly dense pieces Harris has produced to date, but flip over to ‘Everyone in Turn’ and you are treated to simply vocals and piano, a piece of music which has to be one of the most affecting Grouper tracks to date. Sounding like a lost track from beneath a 1950s pier somewhere this affirms the reason why we’re all so obsessed with Liz Harris’ unique productions – they just sound like nothing else on earth.
