Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill is the fifth studio album by American musician Liz Harris under the stage name Grouper.

[4] Mike McGonigal of Pitchfork described Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill as "druggy and sexy and arty and pretty, but never pretentious", calling it "an arresting album of pastoral psychedelic pop".

[3] Reflecting on Deer for its 10th anniversary, Stereogum's Gabriela Tully Claymore credited it with drawing people's attention to Harris' Grouper project.

"[9] Pitchfork echoed this, noting the tracks as "proper songs" that drew on British folk, devotional music, and "gothic lullabies".

Placing it at #6 on their 2018 list of dream pop's 30 best albums, they called its music "crushingly sad" while still giving off "a feeling that art just might save us.
