LVRA reveals new bop ‘Nightmare’

With her second EP getting closer and closer, alt-pop’s LVRA is getting us even more hyped for what’s to come, unveiling her latest electronic-infused bop ‘Nightmare’.

“I can’t remember a time where I didn’t have a fucked up sleep schedule,” she notes. “I was a really nerdy kid who played loads of video games late at night when my parents were asleep.I remember those early hours as being a time where I felt the most free of expectation but in hindsight it was an easy escape from my reality. Even as an adult, my anxiety keeps me up regularly. For people with insomnia it’s those waking hours which are the real nightmare, from the existential crises in the early hours of the morning to the guilt you carry the next day. Sometimes I wake up feeling like that lost kid, and other days I can accept it and get on with the shit I need to do.”

Accompanied by a visual created by film-maker Oscar McNab, LVRA adds, “This video is all about fucking with the viewer’s perception. The one-take felt like the most natural way of following LVRA as she is trapped in the manic phases of her insomnia. It is set in a warped night time scene, shot during the day, to create this blur between reality and nightmarish dreams.”
