"You know him as, "Eluvium," but Matthew Robert Cooper has chosen to use his own name on his most recent work. it goes well with snow dancing in the wind and thoughts of hidden places. Like Explosions in the Sky, Cooper’s band Eluvium has mastered the art of cinematic ambient rock, the likes of which play endlessly on Friday Night Lights. Here he journeys off on his own for some more personal pared down instrumental odysseys, some led by guitars, some led by a lone piano, some fronted by hand bells. It can be repetitive at times, but that’s the point mainly, to let the brain hypnotize itself into other lands of odd emotional resonance, but at the same time nothing makes a man feel as lonely and introspective as this does bleeding through spaghetti string headphones while he takes a winter walk through a snowy park or jostles against strangers on the downtown train. Sometimes the deepest thing you can say is nothing at all. Words can be indeed, very unnecessary. "
