Opening track 'Disengaged' offers a segue from Grouper's cloudy, amorphous output into a mass of mesmerising magnetic hiss and soft noise, before Harris' guitar and voice finally emerge, reverberant and phantom-like, and yet - finally - comprehensible. 'Dragging A Dead Deer.' is far more resonant and up front about its songs than any Grouper songs that preceded them. Trust us when we tell you that - before this record came out - we struggled to sell Grouper albums no matter how much we loved them. 'Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill’, originally issued by Type in 2008, saw Liz Harris’ now much-loved project take a leap from the filtered, tape-fuelled obfuscation of her earlier releases into the sort of smudged dream-pop soundworld she's now best known for.
