Sometimes you hear a song, and it's more than music... It's a painting, it's poetry, it's a full-length film, it's a photograph, it's someone's entire lifespan. I've been working on a new zine, mostly comprised of images and things; and while I'm busy at work editing photographs and collages, I like to listen to music, of course. Lately, I've been finding inspiration in instrumental music, for the most part. I curate playlists that help conquer the time and put me in a trance. Sometimes, like la...

Nonostante alcune critici lo taccino di produrre album monotoni e ricchi di intuizioni rubate (per altro in ritardo, a loro dire) ad altri compositori, Matthew Robert Cooper a.k.a. Eluvium torna ad affascinare con il fluttuare immobile e con le tralucenti trame di sogno di “Similes”. Balza all’occhio…pardon, all’orecchio, un maggiore senso ritmico (senza esagerare, eh…) rispetto al passato e anche l’uso in cinque brani su otto della voce, una voce greve ma anche insicura (non per questo sgradevole però), che inevitabilmente passa in secondo piano rispetto alla bellezza onirica venata di gentile solennità [...]
Eluvium The first thing I wondered when entering Cafe du Nord on my way to see Eluvium was how the new tracks would translate in a live setting. Now that is a common thought for anyone who's a fan of an act that has recently released new material. But what about an act that was strictly instrumental for years and then decided to add vocals? That is what Matthew Cooper (aka Eluvium ) presented with this year's deeply emotional Similes . The album itself is worthy addition to his discography filled with [...]
The subjectivity of audible beauty creates no room for uniform mastery. As styles of music have fluxed in popularity over the past several centuries, the presence of classical music has endured for several reasons. The technical achievements it marked in musical composition is perhaps the most immediate influence, as are the great minds from Beethoven [...]

You probably won't hear a record like that using guitars that is this good ever in your life I bet, The Sight Below marries devastation with beautiful at a syrupy tempo, a must have for late night no talking get togethers. A new album from Eluvium is always welcomed with open arms by my ears, here's a short and fluttery piano piece by the highly talented artist, also make sure to pick the LP for the vocal material as well.
