Lovesliescrushing - Bloweyelashwish - VINYL LP

Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. Red House Painter's 1996 alternative classic Songs for a Blue Guitar was a fan and critic favorite. It is effectively a Mark Kozelek solo album, since no other members of the band are listed in the liner notes. The album introduced heavier, electric guitar driven rock to their sound in songs like InchMake Like PaperInch, and Kozelek's cover of Paul McCartney & Wings' InchSilly Love SongsInch. Recorded while still under contract to the Painters' original tag, 4AD, the tag chose not to the album and released the band from their contract. The album also features a cover of Yes' 1971 hit InchLong Distance RunaroundInch.

In 2008, Have a Nice Life released their now cult classic Deathconsciousness album to a whimper and critical non-interest. Six years after it's the band followed up with 2014's stunner The Unnatural World, and by then Deathconsciousness had become a force of influence and fanatic obsession. Seamlessly blending shoegaze, post punk, new wave, industrial and noise with unparalleled depth and weight, the album was originally released by Enemies List Home Recordings founded by HANL members Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga. Now, longtime HANL collaborator The Flenser will reissue Deathconsciousness on the long-requested CD , with a deluxe packaging option, including the lengthy accompanying zine and housed in a heavy box. The 75-page booklet accompanying the deluxe of Deathconsciousness details the dark and forgotten history of the Antiochean cult. Blurring the lines between novella, liner notes, and academic text, the zine itself presents an engrossing narrative. The corresponding album is rhythmic, primal and expansive, and is a gloomy-post-punk masterpiece-a mediation on death, loss and existence. It feels more fresh and engaging with every listen and has held up as a remarkable piece of art. Fans of Have a Nice Life exhibit both cultic thought and action for good reason-it is perhaps a fanbase as dark and mysterious as the Antiochean's, which the album itself revolves around.

Whoosh is a silly word,Inch says Gus Lord of the Stroppies. InchThere is something completely nonsense about it, especially when removed from any kind of context. For me it conjures up images of something absurd and transient - two things fundamental in the experience of listening to or making good pop music.Inch Whoosh may indeed be a silly word but it almost onomatopoeically captures the sound and essence of The Stroppies first proper debut album, one that breezes along with boundless energy, a refrained pop strut, infectious grooves and the sort of jangling guitar melodies that sound like a prime-era Flying Nun band. 1.
