Enigmatic post-punk duo Have A Nice Life have announced the rightfully hyped follow-up to their 2014 album The Unnatural World. Titled Sea of Worry, Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga have revived their unrelenting, stark sound with seven new tracks. The album’s first single, its eponymous track, calls upon all the hallmarks of Have A Nice Life’s inimitable sound—driving percussion, tempestuous vocals, and reverb-soaked guitar leads.


Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga formed Have A Nice Life in the early aughts while studying at the University of Massachusetts. Bonded by the goal of creating “oddly aggressive acoustic songs,” they spent five years tinkering with their anguished 2008 debut Deathconsciousness. The world would wait until 2014 for the LP’s follow-up, a heavyweight masterpiece titled The Unnatural World that cemented the band’s place in the experimental canon.

Following up an anniversary performance of Deathconsciouness at Roadburn Festival in The Netherlands, Have A Nice Life are ready to gift the world with new material in the form of Sea of Worry. Comprised of ideas both new and old, the album tackles the cataclysmic change and, yes, unrelenting worry that colors Barrett’s and Macuga’s lives. More concise and perhaps more straightforward than their past releases, Have A Nice Life have found new focus and discipline on Sea of Worry.

Sea of Worry will be released via The Flenser on November 8th, 2019. Preorders are available here.

Come ti sembra?

Io l’ho ascoltato una sola volta e non l’ho ancora inquadrato. Lo riascolto in serata

Tanto rumore post wave. Sembrano i Japandroids che hanno ascoltato JESU in alcuni tratti.
Molto buono

clamoroso il pezzo finale

in altri tempi, tipo quelli in cui aprimmo il Panopticon, un disco di questo genere lo avremmo divorato e ne avremmo parlato a lungo

Fantano sentenzia, 3/10. Posso essere d'accordo sul fatto che sia inferiore ai precedenti, e che magari ci si aspettava un pelino di più, ma così è ingiustamente cattivo, ci sono bei pezzi.
