Grouplove - Healer

Healer is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Grouplove, released in March 2020 via Atlantic Records.

Grouplove is an American indie rock band that was formed in 2009 by Hannah Hooper (vocals, keyboards), Christian Zucconi (vocals, guitar), Sean Gadd (bass), Andrew Wessen (guitar, vocals), and Ryan Rabin (drums). They have released one extended play and four studio albums: Grouplove EP (2010), Never Trust a Happy Song (2011), Spreading Rumours (2013), Big Mess (2016) and Healer (2020).

Grouplove kicked off 2020 with their anarchistic, high-energy new single “Deleter”, and showed no signs of slowing down in the lead-up to the release of their fourth studio album Healer.

The Los Angeles based five-piece has spent the past two years writing and recording their most visceral and cathartic songs to date, all while experiencing and bearing witness to a great deal of change, trauma, and growth.

From recording in El Paso within eyeshot of the border during the height of the family separation crisis, to brain surgery for frontwoman Hannah Hooper, to immersing themselves in new creative spaces with producers Dave Sitek and Malay;their new album represents a re-birth and a full-circle return to their initial idealism.

This album is on opaque red coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and printed inserts which have alternate album cover art, housed in a PVC sleeve, pressed in the US via Atlantic Records.
