Eluvium: Similes
In bilico tra suoni acustici e elettronici, adottando al canto un tono volutamente poco appariscente e vagando in modo fluttuante e onirico su trame armoniche semplici, Cooper non prende nettamente una posizione, alternando quadretti minimalisti a intimità screziate e malinconiche.
Come spesso accade in questi casi, alla fragilità dei suoni si accompagna una fragilità dell'ascolto, con l'attenzione perennemente in bilico tra il dondolio ammaliante di poche note e un brusco risveglio cullato dal vuoto.
Se si è nel mood giusto, alcune cose funzionano, ma, pur nella loro onesta umanità, dischi come questo rimangono nel grande calderone delle proposte ancora in cerca del giusto spessore.
