Jon Hopkins - Breathe This Air (feat. Purity Ring)

	Vol.VIII Ep.025 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Jon Hopkins (born 1979) is a London-based producer and musician who writes and performs his own melodic electronica and dance music. At the age of 12 Hopkins began studying piano at the Royal College of Music where he continued until age 17. For a time Hopkins considered becoming a professional pianist, only to decide classical performance was too formal and unnerving to pursue full time. After finishing his final exams at age 17, Hopkins accompanied his friend Leo Abrahams to an audition for Imogen Heap's backing band. He was hired to handle both keyboard and samples, while Abrahams was hired as guitarist. In 1999 Hopkins began recording his debut album. Opalescent attracted positive press attention upon its release and several tracks were licensed to Sex and the City. Hopkins released his second album, Contact Note in 2004. The album slowly gained an underground following but failed to take off and led Hopkins to become disillusioned with his solo career, and take a break from writing in order to learn how to become a producer. In 2004 Brian Eno invited him to join him for a jam session and Hopkins became a long-term collaborator. He then has produced or contributed to albums by Coldplay, David Holmes, and others. Hopkins's third album, Insides, was released in May 2009. Insides charted at #15 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. PopMatters listed the album as one of the top ten electronic albums of 2009. In 2010 Hopkins was commissioned to create the soundtrack for the British science fiction film Monsters. The score was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for Best Original Score. In 2010/2011 Hopkins collaborated with Leo Abrahams and Brian Eno to create the album Small Craft on a Milk Sea and with Scottish musician King Creosote to create the album Diamond Mine (nominated for a Mercury Prize). In June 2013 Hopkins released his fourth solo album, entitled Immunity.
