"Talking to people about her music, people who are typically ready to share half-formed opinions about music of any kind, I find they often have trouble coming up with words; when it really hits, as it often does here, the music of Grouper creates a feeling that can only be defined as awe, an uncanny mixture of wonder and dread that nobody does better".

"Harris's music falls somewhere between singer songwriter and ambient 'noise'. Rising from the Portland underground scene with a series of hiss-soaked CDRs, she has developed a formidable body of work. Her LPs also feature her own beautiful sketches, and are very much examples of the record as an objet d' art ... This is music that challenges and provokes. It may require a bit of effort to 'get' Grouper, but it's worth it. And as this record illustrates, even her cast-offs are stunningly good".
