GROUPER | USA | Type, Root Strata, Weird Forest
The musical project of Portland's Liz Harris. Using delicate song structures which are at once both familiar and alien somehow we hear words cry out hauntingly over stripped down guitar lines and looped environmental recordings. Unforgettable harmonies and vocal lines that embed themselves in your consciousness - The future soundtracks to love, despair and hope.

LAWRENCE ENGLISH | Australia | Touch, 12k, ROOM40, Sirr, Cronica
Lawrence English is a media artist, writer and musician living in Brisbane, Australia. Much of his work prompts questions of field, perception and memory, and is often concerned with sound environments and field recording. Over the past decade he has visited every continent in search of unique and compelling sound spaces. He has been struck by lightening, swam in the Antarctic and dodged numerous venomous animals all in the pursuit of sound.
"extraordinarily gorgeous modern music concréte" Signal to Noise (on 'Ghost towns')
"...A great piece of subconscious architecture" XLR8R (on 'Kiri no oto')
"What makes Kiri No Oto work so spectacularly well (and it is a spectacular album) is that no matter what situation I’ve listened to it in and no matter what sort of sound system I use, it still sounds phenomenal." Brainwashed (on 'Kiri no oto')
