Holy shit, when you touched on the emotion in this track (or lack there of) you summed it up perfectly, in a way I didn't know could be expressed. It's almost creepy how music can emote such specific feelings that can be felt by many different people with similar effects.
Amazing review and critical insight. You described what I love about Grouper in less than 6 minutes whereas I've written hundreds of words and still haven't come close.
Considering that I think that Heavy Water/Id rather be sleeping is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard this is a good review, thank you for giving space to Grouper :)
at the end when it said "Fall Asleep" I seriously thought I was tripping. I use your videos along with some white noise to help me sleep. You have a good voice, and most of your videos are just you talking. Someone in my house turned it off while i was trying to fall asleep. I got back up, turned it on, and then the review ended and it said "fall asleep" I was like. What the fuck?
Spot on review, Anthony. Thanks for taking the effort to give these somewhat obscure artists a little extra exposure. Your contributions are widely appreciated I'm sure :)
You're a good man, Anthony Fantano. Grouper's music is soundscape-y and ambient like you said; I'm trying to pinpoint the emotions it invokes of me... Nostalgic, I suppose. But in a satisfying way. Cathartic, maybe. Anyway, thank you. You should probably review Rome by Danger Mouse and/or Ukulele Songs by Vedder. Forever :)
Really don't think one of those tracks work as stand alone, but if it must be then it's this one yeah. Great albums, I only prefer Dream Loss slightly above Alien Observer, but that's slightly.
since you review all these artists like tyler, the creator and Death Grips, can you do an opinion video on how you think eminem's "slim shady" persona/lyrics have influenced the songwriting of these new, obscure artists? I know, i know, he might be a little too mainstream for you, but i really think that his first 3 or 4 albums paved the way for TTC. I think its because of him that white people seem to enjoy tylers disturbing lyrics more than black people do!
"No matter what time of day I play this record, it is *night time*."
True story.
Alien Observer is such a beautiful song. It reminds me of looking out the window of a loft apartment on a cold night.
Right omg
her music sounds like fixing depression
track is great. album is great. grouper is great.

Cant believe you have a track review for this!
The way you described her music, and sound was so spot on. One of my favorite albums.
"Gonna take a spaceship, fly back to the stars/Alien observer, in a world that isn't ours."
So sweet :) Definitely LOVED this track.
Sleep music/free therapy lol.
AIA is one my favorites of 2011 so far. Great review!

Anthony this was practically an album review! you shoulda just gone the whole hog :P
at the end when it said "Fall Asleep" I seriously thought I was tripping. I use your videos along with some white noise to help me sleep. You have a good voice, and most of your videos are just you talking. Someone in my house turned it off while i was trying to fall asleep. I got back up, turned it on, and then the review ended and it said "fall asleep" I was like. What the fuck?
Hahaha im just replying so you get reminded of this...
loved the track, defs going to check out the rest of the album. thanks for putting me onto this stuff.
I think music can only go as far as help with coping depression and not "cure" it, but If there's one artist that can do both it's Grouper.
crazy to watch in 2024 I love grouper 😭
Spot on review, Anthony. Thanks for taking the effort to give these somewhat obscure artists a little extra exposure. Your contributions are widely appreciated I'm sure :)
for some reason I foud this review to be very relaxing.
Track review Come Softly
Thanks for introducing me to Grouper, Anthony!
i love the new double lp, probably my favorite of the year so far. of course i got them on vinyl, which enhances the listening experience tenfold...
I always associate alien observer with dr Manhattan from Watchmen. I think it fits his character perfectly
You're a good man, Anthony Fantano.
Grouper's music is soundscape-y and ambient like you said; I'm trying to pinpoint the emotions it invokes of me... Nostalgic, I suppose. But in a satisfying way. Cathartic, maybe.
Anyway, thank you.
You should probably review Rome by Danger Mouse and/or Ukulele Songs by Vedder.
Forever :)
