专辑介绍

It's like this and like that and like this. A culmination of over five years of material re-recorded and put on a double disc for yr listening pleasure. First off, the production is stellar. It's not glossy and polished so that it completely shines, but it's not like a lo-fi demo or anything. Have A Nice Life walks the line in between perfectly. As for a shoegaze band at heart, is it going to make you put yr hands over yr face in contempt for how apparent it sounds to all the old throwback 90's acts? Not at all. Sure, influences are widespread, from plenty of shoegaze bands, to drone acts like Sunn O))) to industrial and even metal. But Deathconsciousness as a whole contains its own identity and treads its own path. You know as soon as you sit down to listen to the entire thing and realize after it's too late that you're are completely sucked in and along for the ride. I love the tongue in cheek humor and feel it adds that much more to Have A Nice Life's charm. Waiting for Black Metal Records to Come in the Mail? Genius. Makes me think of hipsters reading the latest Pitchfork review showering Xasthur in accolades over his cutting edge depressive black metal and then going out to indulge in the monotonous dirge that Scott Conner creates.

Sometimes, the conditions are just right for the appreciation of new music. I first started exploring Have a Nice Life’s double album debut as I was leaving my house at 5:45 am last Saturday, still in a somnambulist daze, feeling the cold winter night across my face while overlooking the city lights of Toronto from the lonely hilltop leading my street to the empty road heading south. It was in those moments of dreary isolation, where it felt like the only living souls were miles away in the distance, that the early moments of Deathconsciousness began to seep in. This is record, though far from perfect, delivers an emotional wallop that seems unparalleled. A mysterious synthesis of post-punk, shoegaze, metal and post-rock, Have a Nice Life’s ghostly ruminations aren’t just careful homages to their favorite genres and influences, they instead push the boundaries of them to get to their dramatic core, presenting a perfect summation of where the underground has been and where it will be going.
