- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed Copia, Eluvium takes a courageous
creative leap with Similes, an 8-song album featuring three key musical
elements previously uncharted by Eluvium: percussion, a verse-chorus song
structure, and singing. For a celebrated experimental musician, it was just
about the bravest and scariest direction to go. In this way, Similes is the
most truly experimental Eluvium album yet, and also the most accessible.
Written, performed and recorded as always by Matthew Cooper in his own
Watership Sounds studio, Similes marries Eluvium's trademark dream-like aura
with Cooper's unique, laconic vocals, akin to an especially contemplative Ian
Curtis with trace reflections of Magnetic Fields and Brian Eno. It is the
most daring - and ultimately most rewarding - work of Eluvium's impressive
and prolific career.
