Matthew Cooper creates beautiful music - using gorgeous and lush string arrangements as well as tasteful integration of piano, his blend of shoe gaze/post rock makes listeners absorb every note played, transported to another world that exists between the gentle embrace of one's headphones.
Now he's added another element to his sweeping repertoire - his baritone voice, as well as sparse percussion. If the track 'The Motion Makes Me Last' is any indication of how successful these new additions are to his brand of instrumental music, I can't wait for his new record Similes, set to be released February 23, 2010.
