For Farewell of Nostalgia limited Advanced Compact Disc Edition cover art.
For Farewell of Nostalgia is the sixth extended play by Canadian-American ambient rock band Vision Eternel. It was co-released by Somewherecold Records, Abridged Pause Recordings, and Geertruida on September 14, 2020, on compact disc, compact cassette, and digitally. Physical editions of the release were packaged with a short story.[2][7]
The extended play is a concept album themed around heartbreak and a Dear John letter to the city of Montreal.[8][9] The release blends elements from several genres and styles, including ambient,[5][1] shoegaze,[6][10] post-rock,[2][6] ethereal,[4][3] drone,[11][12] space rock,[13][12] emo,[3][13] post-black metal,[7][14] post-metal,[4][14] dark ambient,[4][12] experimental rock,[10][12] progressive rock,[15] minimal,[14] dream pop,[12] modern classical,[10] and new-age.[16] Its cover artwork is a tribute to Frank Sinatra's album In the Wee Small Hours.[6][4]
The release took almost four years to complete.[9][8] The music was composed and arranged by principal band member Alexander Julien during 2017 and 2018. For Farewell of Nostalgia was first recorded over seven months, between April–October 2018, at Julien's own Mortified Studios in Wexford, Quebec. Unhappy with the material, he shelved the release for a year before fully re-recording the songs between October–November 2019. Initially scheduled for release on February 14, 2020, to tie in with the band's yearly Valentine's Day commemoration,[17][13][18]For Farewell of Nostalgia was pushed back by seven months due to delays with artwork and complications with record labels and pressing plants during the early outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][4][19]
