Grouper - Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping

This album caught me by surprise. On first listen it is pleasant and unassuming, but somehow keeps your attention. The album starts with a rising roar of dull noise reminiscent of an Angelo Badalamenti score for a David Lynch film, only to be replaced by a soft chanting melody echoed by the guitar. This is fairly typical of Dragging a Dead Deer. There isn't much but soft melodies and droning noise, but oh what glorious melodies and noise!
