Explosions in the Sky and Eluvium form New Duo – Inventions

On April 1st Temporary Residence Ltd. will release the debut full length from Inventions, a new band formed by longtime friends, tourmates, and labelmates Matthew Cooper of Eluvium, and Mark T. Smith of Explosions In The Sky. The group represents somewhat of a dream duo for anyone familiar with the unparalleled emotional resonance of Cooper and Smith’s respective outlets: Eluvium has long been at the vanguard of the ever-burgeoning worlds of ambient and neoclassical, while Explosions in the Sky’s towering output has garnered them the kind of critical respect and commercial success that typically eludes instrumental music.
