The opening track is more reminiscent of classic Post-Punk than anything the band has released to date. One of the first things to notice with Sea of Worry (The Flenser, 2019) is a stylistic shift from the lo-fi, drone-y, claustrophobic production that characterised both of Have a Nice Life’s past records, towards a distinctly cleaner and clearer sound. However, their latest release sees them by and large discarding their characteristic genre-blending sound, and opting for more of a re-hashing of familiar Post-Punk forms. Without a doubt, Deathconsciousness (Enemies List Home Recordings, 2008) was a definitive moment not just for the band themselves, but for the genre as a whole, a breath of fresh air after the early-aughts Post-Punk revival seemed to run out of ideas. Have a Nice Life – Sea of Worry ( The Flenser, 2019)Ī little over a decade ago, Have a Nice Life debuted with what is probably the most universally acclaimed, significant and innovative Post-Punk record in recent memory.
