Album Review
Sophomore jinxes are far too common in the world of music, which is exactly why this follow-up is simultaneously surprising and sublime. Lambent Material, the debut LP by Matthew Cooper (aka Eluvium), existed cautiously on the lines of pure ambient and textural noise experiments. This time he's flipped the script around, offering meditations that are equally as sincere as those found on his debut, but a total 180-degree departure sonically. On this very carefully measured seven-song solo piano suite, he borders at times on Debussy and at other times on Satie. Through the cycle, he captures a very potent but moody feeling of loss and quietly tells these small stories with great honesty, free of pretense or unnecessary chord changes and exercises. Equally beautiful and accessible, this could likely be a disappointing follow-up for those expecting more of what Lambent Material had to offer. But if you listen patiently, you will be led to a conclusion that will leave you wanting more than its painfully short 26-minute running time has to offer.
Customer Reviews
beautiful
Although very different from the first album, An Accidental Memory in the Case of Death is beautiful. It's such a short album, which is sort of depressing in a way. I want more of it!
amazing.
A very simple but gorgeous album. The music is extremely inspiring and possibly my favorite Eluvium album. This record is the reason i learned piano.
DEFINATELY buy this. Matthew Cooper is a genius.
Soundtrack to a beautiful but sad Pixar short
This brief album is the soundtrack to a movie that has not been mode, something really bittersweet but nonetheless moving, I imagine it being a short Pixar movie not unlike the opening sequence for "Up." Short, sweet and to touching. I would like for this to be played at my funeral.
