Video Grouper - "Hold the Way"

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 12:00 PM


Here's a video for one of the new Grouper songs, "Hold the Way," directed by Weston Currie. Its black and white, strobe-light quality is pretty eerie, and so's the song: Liz Harris starts with a ghostly choir, jarred by a static-y voice, then a peaceful, vibrating electric piano plays a soothing figure as Harris sings a gentle melody. "Hold the Way" is from Grouper's upcoming album Vessel release yet to be determined; probably not a full-length, although it may either be part of an upcoming 12" split with Roy Montgomery, or a standalone Grouper EP called Vessel, or both, or neither.

Beautiful indeed. Thanks for posting. Are you sure there's an album called Vessel coming out? The only Vessel I'm presently aware of is the other song posted on Grouper's MySpace (along with Hold The Way), called Vessel.
