Eluvium
Copia
Temporary Residence Ltd.
Grade: A-
Putting together a string of yearly releases, Matthew Cooper (aka Eluvium) is back with another set of ambient, sound washes that propel all sets of emotions and thoughts from the listener. Following up on 2006’s When I Live by the Garden and the Sea (TRL), Cooper drops guitars from his sound and concentrates on a wealth of strings, brass, and pianos to create the moods he is becoming increasingly famous for. Clocking in at near an hour, Copia’s twelve tracks vary between the short noise ramblers (“(Intermission),” “Hymn #1”) and pained segways (“After Nature”) to the epic ten-minute “Indoor Swimming at the Space Station.” Of note is the intensely emotional “Prelude For Time Feelers” – a song both familiar and personal. If you need ethereal, ambient music to fill in the silence while you work on the next great American novel, Eluvium’s Copia is your solution.
