I was "going through it" in a terrible way last year and coincidentally discovered Grouper at the same time. She helped, immensely. No other artists capture the same mix of sadness, ambiance, wistfulness, and strangeness that she does. Every track is utterly beautiful. If you want something more upbeat, I also suggest her surf-rock shoegaze project Helen
sentiment by Claire Rousay album is a dreamy, yet haunting exploration of depression. The first track of the album โ4pmโ hot me hard. If youโre inclined towards getting depressed that feeling of bed rotting and failing to see the point of taking your next breath is quite painful to hear but Iโm glad someone has said the quiet part allowed. Enjoyed guest vocals from Hand Habit as well. This album is melancholic without sounding self pitying. I enjoyed the hum and atmosphere Rousay has created. Canโt wait to se ever live in a few weeks in London. 8/10
Here are three! Wildly different vibes here, sorry for the whiplash
Hospital Bracelet is Midwest emo, kinda angry, less romantic yearning. More like yearning for better things.
wished bone is ethereal. I had super intense fever dreams to this album one time. pollinate me and spring time lover still have the power to stop me dead in my tracks.
Medium Build just gets it. I listened to this album for the first time on a road trip to see the eclipse this last year and my partner was asleep in my lap. It made me tear up. Love love love
Everybody meet Tomato! (government name: Chloe) She is a very very shy but sweet little lady who is one year old. I already feel like we're kindred spirits because we both take a while to warm to people. She is currently sitting comfortably with the dust bunnies under my bed.
