User Album Review
Born out of a moment not long after the 2014 release of that album, Grid of Points finds Harris working in a similar milieu, albeit gently augmented. This time, both Harris's voice and piano are drenched in lush, shimmering reverb, taking things into more abstract territory than what's on offer on Ruins, voice and keystrokes alike gliding over all with drifty elusion. Nevertheless, the only moment requiring Harris to reach beyond the keys comes with a fade-in to a field recording of a passing train (presumably a "Coal Train," given an earlier track listing for this release) halfway through album closer "Breathing," and that moment of chugging industrial evanescence speaks to the simultaneous immediacy and temporary circumstances of the sessions that produced these scenes.
Written and recorded over a week-and-a-half-long period in Wyoming that ended when Harris came down with a high fever, it's Grouper at its most economical, fitting seven gorgeously articulated, sepia-toned vignettes into the space of 22 minutes.
Whatever the case, Harris is a sage escort to have along for the ride, and with the spare concrete signifiers and evocative open spaces she provides on Grid of Points, she's crafted a map for the full spectrum of human emotions and experiences.
