Headache

The A-side of the 2016 Paradise Valley single, with a video by Paul Clipson.
Grouper, from Paradise Valley (2016)

"Headache" is the A-side of the Paradise Valley 7-inch, 5:04, first released on December 21, 2016. Grouper is Liz Harris's solo project, and no source we read states a writer credit beyond that. Its video was directed by Paul Clipson, who had worked with Harris on his film Hypnosis Display; mxdwn calls it sepia-toned, dreamy, and Stereogum says it premiered on December 21, 2016 on Gorilla vs. Bear, a premiere we did not confirm elsewhere. The song is also on False Horizon, an unofficial bootleg compilation dated 2020, which we do not file it under.

Our upload is the studio audio from the Topic channel. We found no statement from Harris on what the song is about, no chart entry, no setlist.fm play, and no covers or samples.
