great review as expected man!



While certainly well-established, Harris’ music feels like it’s ‘all yours’ - your own hiding place.




i can definitely agree with this statement (even though I hadn't heard her music until like yesterday haha)



The decade old follow-up “Made of Air” is devoid of vocals, and ends the album on a troubling note, alluding to the unexpected - that godawful sense of doubt. This particular recording offers a flashback, bearing a reflective consternation as though Grouper is drawing on hazy past experiences, yielding more questions than answers. There’s luxury in certainty, and we often take it for granted until it’s ripped away, leaving us to cope without methods.




all this is well-written, but i can't tell if you actually liked the song or not lol. are you saying the song is good because it's a mysterious ending or that ending the album with more questions than answers is a bad thing? Maybe it's just me or maybe it's the way you worded it idk, but i just am confused about your stance on the song if i'm being honest. I haven't heard her past albums either so maybe that's why I'm a little lost here. anyways, review is definitely really great just figured I'd point that out.

I actually neither like nor dislike that song. I just think it works well, and can be interpreted in interesting ways. That's kinda the draw with a lot of ambient pieces, and this track in particular is reminiscent of her earlier stuff (actually was recorded 10 years ago so that makes sense).



I suppose by that explanation you could say I like it. I just felt like describing it in a way I thought was more interesting than 'this song is pretty'
