More information has surfaced on Gaarden Records’ upcoming vinyl release from Matthew Robert Cooper, known to most as Eluvium. Here’s a quote from the label:

Nine short saturnian interludes make up the first proper vinyl release by the sound artist who has intrigued your collapsed antenna many times before as Eluvium, Matthew Robert Cooper. Atmospheric chamber music from the cardboard box vortex. Miniatures moves from swirling spatial feedback manipulations to stripped down minimal piano pieces and back while you watch from the curbside the ghostly parade. Limited to 2,000 copies with the first 1,000 on colored vinyl.

Those with purchase inquiries are encouraged to contact the Portland label here. Gaarden have also posted an MP3 of the track “Miniature 7.” I’ve embedded a stream of it for your convenience at the end of this post. Cooper recently completed another extensive tour with Explosions In The Sky, which seems to have yielded the following video. It is a brief clip of Cooper covering a portion of Explosions’ “The Only Moment We Were Alone,” their best song in my opinion. Cooper really should cover this song in full.

Thanks to Andy for the link to the video.
