Eluvium unveils Life Through Bombardment Vol. 2 short film

25 March 2016, 15:58 | Written by Laurence Day

Eluvium's Life Through Bombardment Vol. 2 vinyl box set now has an accompanying short film.

The set collects every single Eluvium recording since 2009 - when the first Life Through Bombardment collection was released - in a "hand-assembed and hand-numbered" set, and is out now via Temporary Residence (limited to 1000 copies).

Jeremy deVine, Eric Macey, and Jacob Kelsey have directed and filmed the clip, which follows the process of making the box set.

Matthew Cooper (Eluvium) says of the box set:

"It was kind of a dream to be able to create the first box set several years ago, and as the years have passed the first set has come to stand as an important totem for a specific time that I care for dearly. It seemed only appropriate and timely to create its companion piece."

"This time I wanted to go a little further – include some rare material, as well as some tracks that no one had heard before – to give it a bit more character. Quite a lot of people have asked for Nightmare Ending on vinyl, or Static Nocturne, or Similes, etc.… so it's nice to have them all released on vinyl for the first time. It feels like it all came together at the right moment. I askedJeannie Lynn Paske (Obsolete World) if she was willing and interested to again create all new art work for this new set, (she made all of the art for the first box and has been a long time muse/collaborator/inspiration for all things Eluvium – not to mention my life in general). She agreed to be a part of it, and once again she knocked it out of the park. I love the first set very much, but this one is really a whole new level for me."
