Eluvium
When I Live by the Garden and the Sea
Temporary Residence Ltd.
Grade: A-
On his fourth release, Matthew Cooper (aka Eluvium) expands on his ambient soundscapes from Talk Amongst the Trees, and in the process offers one of the more beautiful instrumental records of the year. Though only four songs, the EP clocks in at twenty-two minutes – a length still able to satisfy your ambient needs. Progressing on electronics and piano, Cooper continues the ebb and flow moods on the opener “I Will Not Forget That I Have Forgotten” and “All the Sails,” as well as the slightly more aggressive and distorted “As I Drift Off,” ending the EP with the signature Eluvium sound on the title track. If you’ve enjoyed past Eluvium releases or instrumental ambient music in general, When I Live EP will fit nicely in your musical den.
