Violet Replacement Part II Grouper

“On Violet Replacement, a two-track CD-R released by Harris to support a Grouper tour of the same name, she’s boxed her vocal work into a corner, with only light fragments of her voice occasionally hovering above the semidarkness. Instead, she leans hard on an array of tape loops, Wurlitzer loops, and field recordings, all mixed live through a series of dictaphones and tape players. Violet Replacement provides a large sweep of space for Harris to stretch out in, to see how far out she can push her central aesthetic before the brittle harmony she amasses gradually cracks and blisters into a form of disunity.” - Nick Neyland, Pitchfork
