Eluvium

Any Eluvium fans out here? My buddy introduced me to them (him?) not too long ago and I've really been digging it.

yeah, i found out about this guy from last.fm.. very nice stuff.

yeah its him, Matthew Cooper, his music is ace up until his last album which was horrible, his split ep with jesu was great too, grouper are good too

Eluvium is good, Belong is better, and Grouper is best, also Growing.

Never heard of those others. I'll have to check em out. Any album suggestions?

"You Never Came" is a excellent track

*juvenile snicker*

Eluvium's Copia is one of my favorite albums.

Belong sounded like a pale Hecker imitation...and Grouper, are you serious about that? She sounds like the weak, uninspired shoe-gazer fudge that should have died in a fire back in the mid 90's...

You're wrong, but I like you.

Did I go to the wrong MySpace page?

Awesome. Embarrassing was exactly the word, or rather the sentiment, I was looking for. It hurt my feelings to listen to it because if anybody caught me binging on this Grouper cat's music, I'd be humiliated, I'd have a lot of explaining to do, and I'd probably go on the suicide watch list for a few weeks.

I just read the post from ieafs about that music sounding "simple" and "egoless" and although simple made sense to me, I don't know where egoless comes in. In fact, I find that to be a contrary description of this brand of music. When the music is this bland, it relegates the artist to the center of our focus - so of course I looked at her pics section and found this:

Irony? God I hope so.

lol

Eluvium is great. I really love Talk Amongst The Trees. If you haven't heard that one, you should.

I have. That's the one that Taken is from.

Exactly. Then you know how awesome New Animals From The Air is.

One of my absolute favourites. The two untitled songs from the compilation album (lambent + talk amongst in one release iirc) are overlooked gems as well.
