Similes

Eluvium

A surprising pivot into songcraft featuring baritone vocals and skeletal percussion. Eluvium's signature ambient fog, now shaped into haunting, structural shapes.

February 22, 2010 · Temporary Residence Limited

A gentle, fog-filled meditation on presence and disappearance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected entry of a steady, muted drum beat on track one that grounds the usual ambient drift.
The way the vocals emerge from the reverb on 'The Night Meant For Us' like a ghost in the room.
The massive, eleven-minute slow-burn finale of 'Cease to Know' that dissolves back into pure texture.
