Grouper -Grouper "A I A " Alien Observer"
Grouper's current album is called "A I A : Alien Observer." And once you hear the lush-lucid-dreamy-sonic soundscapes...you'll understand the album title. This is the perfect soundtrack for any urban 3 a.m. "dangerous semi conscious quiet nights" (if that makes sense) o...
