In celebration of his hauntingly beautiful new album Similes (TMT Review), out now on Temporary Residence, Matthew Robert Cooper, a.k.a. Eluvium, will embark on a tour of the US and Canada at the end of the month… and hey, it’s the end of the month! As can be expected, the tour will get warmed up in Eluvium’s home town of Portland on April 29, eventually coming to an end in Salt Lake at the end of May. No word yet on whether the broader range in sound he has adopted for this new release will be represented using a backing band on this tour or if he’ll stick to the solo setup he’s utilized in the past. Julianna Barwick lends support for a handful of dates, depending on how big your hand is.
