Biography

A one woman ambient project from Portland, Oregon, Grouper -- aka Liz Harris -- first appeared with the self released full length CDR Grouper in 2005. Later that year, and then signed to Free Porcupine, Grouper released the critically acclaimed Way Their Crept. From there, a series of recordings were made available, including a 3" CD entitled He Knows in 2006, and the 12" Weird Forest release Wide in 2007. In the meantime, Harris earned extra props from the genre as a whole with her 2006 collaboration album with Xiu Xiu entitled Creepshow. In addition to releasing work on Free Porcupine and Collective Jyrk, Grouper also saw releases on Type Records, who were responsible for the re-release of her groundbreaking Way Their Crept in 2007, as well as her 2008 work, Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill.
