    Grouper craft a compelling listen with Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill. From the first track, the vocals and the minimalist approach to their sound are haunting. The production I thought was fantastic for being an independent record. The way the songs lap onto each other as if it is still the same song was really unique.

    Grouper managed to not only make a great record, but blow me away i    n the process.… Expand

    Dead Deer is druggy and sexy and arty and pretty, but never pretentious.
