Dread is the primary theme that is woven throughout Sea of Worry - the dread of aging. , Defenestration Song Emptiness Will Eat the Witch A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut, Have a Nice Life. Mixing gloomy ambience with bits of droning shoegaze and an industrial strain of post-punk, Connecticut duo Have a Nice Life rode a wave of grassroots Internet support in the late 2000s and were embraced as champions of the distressed and depressed. As the following for the project has grown, and Dan and Tim have aged and faced new life challenges with family and careers, their new album Sea of Worry reflects just that. Slight tilts, and unrealities.and everything bad takes a very, very long time. Have A Nice Life was formed in a time of DanРІР‚в„ўs and TimРІР‚в„ўs life that reflected concerns with depression and suicidal ideation. That way, when itРІР‚в„ўs over? YouРІР‚в„ўve barely begun. WeРІР‚в„ўre going to wait a long time.so, find love while youРІР‚в„ўre young. Oh, let me find the right one! Someone to love, someone to hate. WeРІР‚в„ўre going to wait a long time, but IРІР‚в„ўm willing to wait. WeРІР‚в„ўre going to wait a long time.but thereРІР‚в„ўs power in prayer. Have A Nice Life was formed in a time of DanРІР‚в„ўs and TimРІР‚в„ўs lives that reflected concerns with depression and suicidal ideation. You know I could never wait, so just tell it to me straight. And in that darkened room, there is evidence for god.but heРІР‚в„ўs not like I thought, and IРІР‚в„ўm always on my guard. And, in that darkened room, I trusted my own spite all evidence lifeРІР‚в„ўs provided otherwise. If I can convince myself that any of this helps, I can sink deeper in.but call it something else. But, it is within this abrupt and sudden sense that Sea of Worry finds its inner truth, its volatile and unpredictable nature.And, in a darkened room, where I always spoke too soon, I burn an endless stare at nothings that just arenРІР‚в„ўt there. Has this distance been traversed in a smooth and linear manner? Definitely not. Letting the record return back to its beginning, listening again to the opening title track it is astonishing to see how much ground Have A Nice Life have been able to cover. Yet in pure Have A Nice Life fashion, the duo seems almost unaffected by these terrible utterances, opt for an ambiently inclined, orchestral progression. It is the necessary lead to the 13 minute epic closer РІР‚СљDestinosРІР‚Сњ, featuring some disturbing speeches featuring religious fundamentalism.

The unbalanced trip closes in stunning fashion with the surf rock inspired riffs of РІР‚СљTrespassers WРІР‚Сњ, paving the way for the complete change of perspective that occurs in Side B.Р”Р„nd so out goes the direct, immediate riffs and catchy choruses as РІР‚СљEverything We ForgetРІР‚Сњ opens in mesmerizing fashion with a majestic ambient overture. The trip further evolves through the slower pace of РІР‚СљDracula BellsРІР‚Сњ, with the band awakening a devilish doom rock element, before the electronically infused РІР‚СљScience BeatРІР‚Сњ joins in, washing away the weight in favour of an ambient, shoegaze informed lyricism. Have a Nice LifeРІР‚в„ўs early work had a tendency to shape-shift, presenting as garage rock on one track only to unravel into ambient noise. It is a trip down memory lane, with Have A Nice Life awakening much of the glory of the РІР‚В80s scene through their own bleak lens. Five years later, Sea of Worry presents disquieting answers. A towering bass line and a few sparse guitar strums dress the scenery in perfect darkness with the elusive vocal delivery adding the necessary touches of melancholy.
