Eluvium announces new album, Virga III

Eluvium has announced the third installment of his experimental Virga series. On May 15, Matthew Robert Cooper will release Virga III via Temporary Residence. Hear the first single, “A.M.”, below.

Cooper said about the album in a statement, “While Virga I was brought to me by a temporarily evacuation from my house to my garage during a winter snowstorm – and Virga II by a phantasmal dream sequence during the height of a global pandemic – Virga III takes its inspiration from the worlds found in minor green spaces, culverts, and other miniature biological ecosystems operating within our daily deluge of cruel rhetoric, unspeakable violence, unending disruption and devastating disparity. A reflection on the micro and macro universes that surround us.”

Eluvium’s last album was 2023’s (Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality. Virga II was released in 2021.
