Copia, by Eluvium

Copia

by Eluvium

supported by

Emmerich One of my favorite albums of all time. I fell in love with it when I was a teenager, and when I inhabit it I still feel at home.

fuzzban Gentle and floating Favorite track: Indoor Swimming At The Space Station.

In the Treeeees A classic ambient/instrumental album. Mournful and joyous. A funeral dirge for a late, beloved space captain. A coronation for a claymation king. A farewell between animal friends. Rolling credits for a movie you forgot you saw. Favorite track: Seeing You Off The Edges.

Daniel Marsee Something about most of Eluvium's music transports me to some mysterious alternate reality in my mind. The entire album of Copia has a unique way of doing this. Listening to Eluvium is like finding the seams in reality, and pulling them back to expose the gray, static loneliness in the dimension unknown. Favorite track: Indoor Swimming At The Space Station.

about

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.
