Deathconsciousness

Product Information

BARRETT First, I was wondering what we could use in the public domain since we didn't have any money. Like a lot of things we do creatively, the way it starts is there's just something we think is cool, and then we'll build on that and make it fit. Rather than saying, "Here's what I want to say, what are all the great pieces of art that might fit?" It's much more instinctual than that. I'm responding to it in some way and asking why I like it so much. A lot of stuff that people resonated with on Deathconsciousness — if we had sat down and decided to make it a super depressing thing that people are gonna resonate with, we could never do it. You can't do it on purpose: you have to do it by accident, almost by definition. You can't just think it through and break it into its pieces. A record of truly epic proportions...a new standard-bearer for what can be accomplished with two people." - 24 Hour Party Pooper Heller, Jason (February 6, 2014).

I'M CURIOUS: HAS THE APPROACH TO CREATING THESE CATHARTIC MOMENTS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS? In Jacques-Louis David’s depiction of The Death of Marat which graces the cover of Deathconsciousness, Marat’s lifeless hand clings to a note that may as well read “resistance is futile…”. Have a Nice Life’s debut album shares with David’s painting an implied response of defiance to that statement: “…but we shall never cease trying”.

To begin, I would like to state a few basic tenets I more or less adhere to in regard to the medium of appraising sound recordings, A.K.A albums.

Sets a rather high bar for what new or little known bands are capable of producing on their own" - scenepointblank MACUGA I hope. I mean I can tell a student, "Excellent work, you should be very proud of what you've done."

Release

MACUGA I think it's gonna happen, though it's different when you become this cultural item in a school. A stand-up comedian friend of mine once said that public school teachers are the world's shittiest celebrities because everyone knows you in this very small bubble. MACUGA Or it would just never be enough. The thing with Deathconsciousness is the reality of the hard drive crashing and losing the masters. I have the most recent recording of "Deep, Deep" that doesn't appear on the album and has different parts. For a while, there was a part of me that thought this was the superior. It's the holistic sum of the end product of Deathconsciousness with the abandoned masters and the 192 bit rate that makes it that moment in time. That misfortune in life is also a necessary part of it.
