First Listen: Eluvium, 'Nightmare Ending' : NPR
Matthew Cooper, who writes and records as Eluvium, has spent the past decade producing a vast and remarkable catalog of ambient and electronic music. Often amorphous and mostly instrumental, his songs suggest a sea of emotions: joy, sorrow, fear, love, awe. Cooper's seventh album as Eluvium, Nightmare Ending (out May 14), is his best yet, and it's full of some of 2013's most transporting new music.
