Matthew Cooper

Following a string of increasingly remarkable albums,

Eluvium’s Matthew Cooper set out to broaden his

instrumental palette, while maintaining the uncanny emotional resonance that has become his trademark.

The result is Copia, an hour-long epic that applies Eluvium’s heartache-inducing ether to a symphony of

strings, brass, keyboards and piano. Noticeably absent but hardly missed are the washes of guitars that color

most of Eluvium’s previous material. The deliberate exclusion of traditional rock instrumentation serves as

sufficient proof that the instrument is not Eluvium’s driving force. At best it is a catalyst, a vehicle to that

netherworld in the back of your head, where your life starts to uncontrollably reevaluate itself.

These feelings of joy, hope, love, remorse and regret are unavoidable and are often obscured by language.

Words will explain everything away, dragging those feelings back into their cerebral abyss. This will only delay

the inevitable, for that moment will come when your heart and brain will start swapping memories. It is in

these memories – when the worlds in front of and behind your eyes are obscuring each other in a reminiscent

haze – that it helps to have music like Eluvium. The sooner you give in to it, the sooner you’ll be back to

normal.
