An astonishing amount of gear has arrived from the US, among the joys is a sweet split 7" from Grouper/Pumice. The Grouper track 'Rising Height' is sublime. It has a very intimate atmosphere and is ghostly as hell, like proper haunting. Liz Harris' vocals are eerie to say the least but they just ooze pure emotion. This is a beautiful track. The Pumice number is quite a stark contrast. The title of this number is 'Twin Neck Double Kick Bum Chin' which does make me laugh. It's a wonky and really quite strange song. Difficult to describe but I'm fairly sure it's out there on its own. The guitar sounds like it's all over the place but there is a tune there breaking out. It has a cool quirky feel. Both sides here are well worth checking out. A winner! Limited to 500 copies on Soft Abuse.A Grouper Rising Height
