Continuous Portrait

Continuous Portrait

On their first album together since Maze of Woods (2015), Matthew Robert Cooper (Eluvium) and Mark T. Smith (Explosions in the Sky) further their creative curiosities as Inventions and release the beautiful new record A Continuous Portrait.

Artist: Inventions

Genre: Electronica

Label: Secretly Canadian

Release date:


A Continuous Portrait is an album of strange hypnosis, punctuated by songs that venture quite far from the respective oeuvres of Cooper and Smith. Spry, playful layers bounce against a steady thrum of rhythms and samples from everyday noises, while the dancing lightness of Outlook for the Future is met with a storm of emotional resonance. The music emerges as a distinctively different direction for Inventions - and the two members' day-jobs - and it is that very sense of exploration, pleasure, and ceremonial melancholia which informs the entire record from front to back.

About the artist

Inventions is an American musical ensemble signed to Temporary Residence Records, consisting of Matthew Cooper of Eluvium and Mark T. Smith of Explosions in the Sky. Inventions formed in 2013 as a side project for both musicians, whose main projects were signed to the same record label.
