In this case, we have a direct quote from a band member, Justin Vernon, explaining the song: "It's partly named after the geological era, but it's also the name of a bar in Portland where I had a dark night of the soul." He went on to say that "the title is a metaphor for when you're not doing well. But it's also a song about redemption and realizing that you're worth something; that you're special and not special at the same time." The term "Dark Night of the Soul" comes from the Christian mystical tradition, and refers to having a spiritual crisis which ultimately leads to new understanding and even some inner peace.

The Quaternary glaciation is still ongoing, beginning 2.6 million years ago. However, the most recent glacial episode ended about 11,700 years ago, at the start of the current Holocene epoch. During the Pleistocene, glaciers reached their maximum prior extent about 15,000 years ago.

One comparative form of "recent" is "more recent," used to compare two or more events or time periods, indicating one is closer to the present than the other.
The most recent North American maximum glaciation period was about 20,000 years ago, and ended between 11,500 and 14,000 years ago (as marked by increases in sea levels). However, glaciers still exist in cold regions of the continent. *The beginning of the Holocene has a radiometric (carbon-14) date of about 10,000 years ago.
No, the most recent glaciation ended gradually between 10,000 and 6,000 years ago, but this was only one of many glaciations which occurred during the present ice age which started over 2.5 million years ago.
