ALBUM REVIEW: Max Cooper – On Being

Mesh

Released 28.02.25

With a reputation for blurring the lines between electronic music, art and technology, Max Cooper has upended his creative approach for album number seven, collecting hundreds of anonymous quotes from his online audience over a two-year period. Cooper skillfully leads the listener on an exhilarating journey through a spectrum of electric dreams masterfully escalating the BPM to climactic peaks, shifting seamlessly between tranquillity and trepidation and from anguish to elation. On Being further establishes Cooper as a truly distinctive artist, while at times demanding, while ultimately proving to be immensely rewarding. Perfectly illustrating the profound influence and resilience of music and articulates what appears to be beyond expression, while consistently navigating the spectrum between serenity and turmoil.
