I love the strange rhythms, and the lyrics are evoking some strong nostalgia.

A I A: Alien Observer is the seventh studio album by Grouper, the stage name of American musician Liz Harris. It is the second of her two-part album series A I A, released on April 11, 2011 on Yellow Electric. A I A: Alien Observer, along with A I A: Dream Loss, received an honorable mention on Pitchfork's list of the best albums of 2011. In 2016, Pitchfork ranked Alien Observer at number 21 on its list of the 50 best ambient albums of all time. All tracks written by Liz Harris.

Album · 2011 · 6 Songs. Ethereal, spectral, and absolutely gorgeous, AIA: Alien Observer was easily one of 2011's finest releases. Yet what genre do we stick this woozy and slowly evolving stuff into? Is it experimental or alternative rock? It’s hard to find an act as purely interested in experimentation and melody with equal measure. No matter what you’re doing when you first hear music by Liz Harris (. Grouper), after a few minutes it’s hard to not find yourself doing nothing but listening.

Anyway, great release as well as the others by Liz. Reply Notify me 1 Helpful. Are there any differences between first-second-third pressings?

Grouper is always haunting and mysterious, but AIA: Alien Observer feels out of this world. The hushed harmonies sound like creatures from another planet trying to connect through an aesthetic. I like to listen to this album while wearing a sheet and running around the house like a ghost. 93. This is what I think spiritually transcending to another realm would sound like.

The title track does away with the drone and puts Harris' vocal over a quivering keyboard line. But placed on a continuum, these records highlight how 2008's luminous Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill, her last full-length album, was an unusual entry in the Grouper catalog. That record was built almost exclusively with acoustic guitar and voice, and the songs had an ancient air to them, like they'd been carved into petrified wood with a hammer and chisel.
