about
"In my mind, Copper Hills is a transition EP of sorts - subtle and not-so-subtle hints at the upcoming Origins LP, which will be a full-on move from a more ambient, organic, neo-classical style of past Elskavon albums to a bigger emphasis on sample-based, rhythmic, electronic direction, and with experimental lyric vocals for the first time.
The most glaring, and likely unique, aspect of the EP is that it directly points to Origins, the follow-up LP, by sampling from Origins. I had parts of Copper Hills written before I finished Origins, but I ended up finishing these after Origins was mastered already, and the idea of making it a ‘prequel,’ if you will, to the LP came to me. I use bits of audio from Origins here and there, throwing them into the mix via samplers, or just by mangling the audio in different ways - pitching to match the new song, chopping and cutting things up. I’ve never done this before - sampling an unreleased track of mine in order to foreshadow its future release" - Chris Bartels

No album I can think of in recent memory soothes my anxious mind as the calm of glittering guitar riffs mix with gentle synth pads to paint serene landscapes in my mind

It's weird how many other albums this one reminds me of, distilling their sounds into an extract and then scattering it among the ambient stars. 55/100
