Liz Harris of the solo project Grouper has done a fabulous job of writing and arranging a little score for Weston Currie’s weird and eerily shot film, Sputnik. Grouper’s last album, Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill, was met with great critical reviews, and was recognized on Pitchfork’s Best 50 albums of 2008.
Harris’ craft of spinning ethereal sounds continues to grow, as does her commercial success.
