False Readings On is a studio album by American musician Matthew Cooper under the pseudonym Eluvium. It was released on September 2, 2016, through Temporary Residence Limited, and received universal acclaim from critics.
Matthew Cooper, also known as Eluvium, is an American musician. False Readings On is his first studio album since Nightmare Ending (2013). He drew inspiration from "themes of cognitive dissonance in modern society." The album was released on September 2, 2016, through Temporary Residence Limited, on CD, black vinyl, light gray vinyl, and digitally.
Paul Simpson of AllMusic stated, "The main element that sticks out on this album is Cooper's occasional somewhat jarring usage of operatic vocal samples." He added, "On several pieces, he builds up layers of wavy synthesizer drones and gliding guitars before inserting eerie, disembodied vocal trills." Luke Pearson of Exclaim! called the album "another strikingly beautiful work from Eluvium."
