Have A Nice Life returns with their second full-length album, "The Unnatural World," a haunting and atmospheric journey through the realms of shoegaze and slowcore. Released on February 4, 2014, under The Flenser label, this album spans 47 minutes of immersive soundscapes and introspective lyrics.
The album opens with "Guggenheim Wax Museum," setting the tone for the ethereal and melancholic journey that follows. Tracks like "Defenestration Song" and "Burial Society" showcase the band's signature slowcore elements, blending haunting melodies with deeply personal lyrics. "Music Will Untune the Sky" and "Cropsey" delve into darker, more atmospheric territories, while "Unholy Life" and "Dan and Tim, Reunited by Fate" offer moments of introspective reflection.
"The Unnatural World" is a testament to Have A Nice Life's ability to create music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The album's shoegaze influences are evident in the dense, layered guitar work and reverb-drenched vocals, while the slowcore elements provide a sense of melancholic beauty. Each track is a carefully crafted piece of art, inviting the listener to lose themselves in the music and explore the depths of the band's creative vision. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their sound, "The Unnatural World" is an album that demands to be experienced in its entirety.
