Our Take
Our Take
MIKE COOPER's latest album, "Reluctant Swimmer Virtu," is a wild ride from start to finish. Cooper, a true veteran in the industry, showcases his eclectic range of influences and expertise in this delightfully bizarre record.
From the get-go, Cooper's distinct vocals draw you in, like a siren luring sailors to their doom (in the best way possible). His lyrics are poetic, introspective, and at times downright psychedelic. It's like taking a trip down a rabbit hole, but instead of Alice, you've got Mike Cooper as your guide.
The instrumentation on this album is truly next level. Cooper effortlessly blends traditional folk elements with experimental electronic sounds, creating a mesmerizing sonic landscape that is simultaneously familiar and alien. It's like if Bob Dylan went on a bender with Aphex Twin and decided to make a record together.
Tracks like "Waves of Confusion" and "Lost in the Currents" showcase Cooper's unique ability to craft immersive, otherworldly soundscapes that transport the listener to another dimension. It's the perfect soundtrack for a late-night drive through a neon-lit city or a contemplative evening alone with a glass of whiskey.
In conclusion, "Reluctant Swimmer Virtu" is a mind-bending journey into the musical abyss, and Mike Cooper is your fearless captain. Strap in, hold on tight, and let the music take you where it may. Trust me, you won't regret it.
