I like me the sound of this. (I got the last album in the Tower implosion.)

dude is back in portland, and am psyched -- his live shows are pretty awesome especially when he collaborates with his g.f., who's an animator/ artiste.

the new album is deep and strong. very lovely stuff.

Ah cool, I couldn't tell if "hearts break" was +ve or -ve. I generally only play his stuff when I'm going to sleep but it is very purdy. Guitars something of a crucial element though so be interesting to hear this new direction.

oh yeah, sorry, hearts break meant sounds sad.

― scott seward (121212), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:40 (nineteen years ago)

i guess a lot of his stuff is pretty melancholy though.

new one is all strings, piano, keyboard, brass.

Wow. Clean? FX pedalled?

― ledge (ledge), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

there are fx. dude is an eno fan, right? and some stuff - like solo piano - that sounds pretty straight up. sounds like it took awhile to make! i need to listen more though. i still love that solo piano thing he put out so much. maybe even the most.

"Look ma, no guitars!"

Yeah this is very good news, I'm glad to hear he went that route.

Maybe I should drive down to Portland sometime and see him play.

When's it out? On Temporary Residence still?

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

yah, temp res, but i don't know when it's out. maybe their website says?

― scott seward (121212), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

this thread inspired me to put on his last album again last night while reading before sleep. beautiful beautiful stuff. i'm looking forward to seeing where he goes with this.

my favorite part about eluvium is the noizy fx he uses. maybe i just don't listen to enough ambient stuff like this, but i haven't ever heard another band that manages to make noise so pretty

Uh.

If you go to eluvium.net it just says in February there will be a new album, new website and new tour.

― Bimbler (Sourkraut), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

that mbv album is a good one, worth the download

This is nice! Maybe a little cheesy at times, but lovely at others. And I'm only listening through laptop speakers, too.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

Is quite nice, need to hear it more. With the strings & horns some of it is quite Stars of the Lid, actually. When he pulls out the piano I get flashes of Windham Hill.
