Eluvium - Similes

Review by Joel Devenish

Eluvium's album Similes is a beautiful and haunting collection of ambient music that showcases the artist's talent for creating intricate soundscapes. The album is a departure from Eluvium's earlier works, which were characterized by their minimalist approach to music. Instead, Similes is a more complex and layered album that incorporates a wide range of sounds and textures.

The album opens with "Leaves Eclipse the Light," a moody and atmospheric track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Eluvium takes the listener on a journey through a series of dreamlike compositions that are both ethereal and otherworldly.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Motion Makes Me Last," which features a haunting melody that is repeated throughout the song, creating a sense of hypnotic trance. Another standout track is "In Culmination," which features a beautiful and melancholic piano melody that is accompanied by a delicate string section.

Summary by Joel Devenish

Similes is a stunning album that showcases Eluvium's talent for creating atmospheric and emotionally resonant music. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates ambient music and wants to experience a truly immersive listening experience.
