The day has finally come! We have waited with eager
anticipation to release Matthew Cooper's spellbinding
soundtrack to Some Days Are Better Than Others since
before his creative breakthrough album, Similes
(released under his more widely known Eluvium
moniker) was even made. The film stars James Mercer
(Broken Bells, The Shins) and Carrie Brownstein
(Portlandia, Sleater-Kinney) as strangers whose lives
occasionally intersect as they navigate their way through
the struggles of personal attachment and disconnection.
When viewing the film, Cooper observed themes being
presented regarding our throw-away society, and
realized that both he and Some Days director Matt
McCormick shared a common interest in this world of
things left behind and the emotional baggage that is
connected to it - whether broken or simply tossed aside
for something new; something once considered the
future, turning into antiquated rubble. Cooper decided
that using a collection of damaged instruments would be
a fitting way to underscore this aspect of the film.
A long-time collector of odds and ends and junked
musical instruments, Cooper has amassed an impressive
array of thrift store and garage sale keyboards, foot
pedals, and electronics over the years - always hoping
to discover the ''ghosts'' hidden within and the unique
properties they may possess.
