Here's my review for the 1st press. It still stands...... Here's another album by that underwater space alien Liz Harris otherwise known as Grouper. Actually I think this is her 2nd album proper as it came out in between the 2 Type LP's. We've only just got it though! Wide is a lush album which is very Grouper sounding.... She has a very magical sound indeed and if you're not familiar with it, imagine the Cocteau Twins recorded underwater with Liz Fraser being replaced by a space alien and the microphones are in a different room. The sound is very textured and ethereal but stick with it as the more you'll hear her stuff the more you'll warm to the lovelyness within. There's some digging to be done but underneath the layers you find some gorgeous melodies which feel like someone is coming in your ears. Smashing...Be the first to review this record.
