Opening with a “Requiem,” Chrystal Für’s third album Elusion is an elegy to the cycle of loss, acceptance, and the promise of restored life. Christopher Vibberts' reflective piano interweaves with droning waves of sound and intermittent shards of static that is equal parts nostalgia and hope. The album also contains an unforgettable collaboration between the Portugal-via-US artist with the Belgium's Echo Collective (7K!) as well.

Elusion is set for a May 28th release on What Are We Records, with the album opener "Requiem" out now. The track operates in a mind-frame occupied by like-minded artists like Colin Stetson, Christopher Willits, and Tangerine Dream, and has a slow-moving pulse with building peaks that continues to propel the track throughout. 

​Vibberts pulls the curtain back on the new track: "'Requiem' is a soaring recognition of a year of trials and tribulations and an eagerness to lay it to rest. Slowly evolving tones defy gravity as they launch into space making way for an emerging synth that in its gentle pulsation reminds us how alive we still are. Requiem is an end, and a beginning."

Listen to “Requiem” accompanied by awe-inspiring visuals that bring to life the transcendent spirit of the music as it reaches from the somber depths of solastalgia toward the heavens and hope for the future.
