Gnocchi with brown butter and sage at Antico. The atmosphere, food, drink, and rhythm of conversation all coalesce in the most pleasurable way, and the world—or at least your corner of it—feels beautiful. The quickest way to zap such a moment of magic is to mention it out loud. Even after the feeling fades, your affection for the restaurant crystallizes forever. All of which is a fancy way of saying: Go to Antico.
Grouper is the solo project of musician, artist and producer Liz Harris born July 15, Grouper released the critically acclaimed Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill in , followed by five more records, including a two-part album, A I A , and the piano-led album Ruins. Her twelfth album, Shade , was released in
What happens in the margins of the music Liz Harris makes as Grouper is often as important as the music itself. In a performance at Krakow's Unsound Festival earlier this month, the rattle of a film projector added a layer of instant nostalgia to her murky swirls of voice and guitar. Much of the time, Grouper's music is so diffuse that there's no longer any distinction between center and margin anyway, no difference between foreground and background. Here, the incidental noises—crickets, croaking frogs, thunder and rain, and, at one point, the unmistakable beep of a microwave oven that fired up after a blackout in the house where she was recording—serve primarily to underscore how stark the music is, unadorned and pocked with vast silences. Ruins is Grouper's "unplugged" record, essentially, as much as that might sound odd for a musician who has always put acoustic guitar and piano and voice at the core of her work.
