REVIEW )Despite a few great singles and splits in 09, it feels like forever since we’ve had a real thick slice of Grouper to bite into. On this new split 12?, Liz Harris teams up with New Zealand’sRoy Montgomery for a satisfying glimpse at what the Portland chanteuse is up to. Montgomery spills across Side A with a phased out variation of Sandy Bull’s ‘Fantasia on A Theme’, hacking out 18 minutes of icy solo guitar musings.

Grouper takes the B-Side with 4 tracks of her most concise songwriting yet. “Vessel” is steered by a slow, processional Wurlitzer that seems to absorb all the reverb from Harris’ vocals, which remain as doomed and affecting as ever even in this more austere recording. Her side is healthily supplemented with the creepy backyard, wind-pushing-swingset, dog barking, Boo Radley tape atmospherics you’d expect
