Grouper announces new record “The Man Who Died In The Boat”

Norman Fleischer December 17, 2012

Portland based drone/folk artist Liz Harris has announced details of a new album by her criticly acclaimed project GROUPER. The Man Who Died In The Boat will be released via Kranky on the 4th of February 2013. It features material that was produced around the same time as Harris’ milestone album Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill from 2008. This one will also get a re-release on the same day. The title of the new record refers to a certain event in Harris’ past when she once encountered “the wreckage of a sailboat washed up on the shore of Agate Beach” in Oregon. With her fragile and siren-linke voice, her pure acoustic guitar and the wide space her sound creates the musical experience of GROUPER is clearly a unique one. Listen to the album’s title track already today.

What is NBHAP about?

The world we live in becomes faster and more diversified than ever before. It might seem hard not to drown in possibilities and some of us just decide to be lived rather than create life. But there are people who want more. The music-magazine Nothing But Hope And Passion (NBHAP) wants to connect to those people. Individuals who consider open minded arts and thoughts as more than just a nice add-on to the life of labor. NBHAP is more than a music-magazine and is both about ecapism and not about escapism. About dreaming away but coming back. About running away from everyday life to find new strength, face things and cope with situations, problems and life in general. A music-magazine that does all this by being more than a music-magazine. Because music is - besides life - what NBHAP is passionate about and music is what gives hope. NBHAP is the music-magazine that lets you keeping a grip on hope.

NBHAP is more than a music-magazine.

NBHAP is the music-magazine that deals with more than music. As music-magazine it brings you news, reviews, tours, festivals and interviews with the finest acts from ambient, dreampop, electronic music, electronica, electro, electropop, synthpop / synthie-pop, postrock / post-rock, alternative rock, folk, singer-songwriter, acoustic, post-punk, slowcore, sadcore, synthgaze, glo-fi, new-wave, indie, indiepop / indie-pop, indierock / indie-rock, pop to rock music. But NBHAP is more than a music-magazine, it also is about dealing with important topics from psychology, philosophy, politics, life, love, human rights, animal rights, progress, worthful thoughts, future, hope and passion. Furthermore you can find shortfilms, movies, documentaries and animated films that are longing for a bit more, too.

For whom is NBHAP?

In short words: Nothing But Hope And Passion is the music-magazine for everyone who thinks a bit more about life, who wants to get a bit more from life and who gives a bit more to live.
