NIGHTMARE ENDING

NIGHTMARE ENDING

<i>Nightmare Ending</i> is the first proper Eluvium album released since 2010's <i>Similes</i>, the unexpectedly vocal-heavy ambient-pop record that simultaneously delighted and confounded longtime fans. But the <i>Nightmare Ending</i> story actually began years earlier, as it was intended to be the follow-up to the watershed album, <i>Copia</i>. Conceived as a way of helping loosen his self imposed ideals of perfection, Cooper labeled each <i>Nightmare Ending</i> track as either a "dream," or an "imperfection" a way of differentiating the philosophical concept of "dream vs. reality."
