If you check out my Last.fm widget down to the side there you will see some of the albums I’ve been loving on within the last few months. The one without a cover is this album, Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill.

Man do I love me some dream-pop. It doesn’t get much dreamier than Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill by Portland’s Grouper (Liz Harris). DDD fits the genre title well as this entire album feels like the soundtrack to a dream; you don’t always know what is going on and you forget what happened when it ends but you are left with the feeling that you just experienced something magical.

Music aside that cover creeps me out, but in a good way.

Grouper – Heavy Water / I’d Rather Be Sleeping
