HAVE A NICE LIFE Voids Vinyl (2021) 2LP Ltd Edt.

Post-punk has always had a complicated relationship with hope. Have A Nice Life lean into that contradiction harder than almost anyone, and Voids is the document of a band staring into the gap between what music promises and what life delivers.

Originally a companion piece to their landmark Deathconsciousness, Voids collects B-sides, rarities and unreleased material that would have been the centrepiece of most other bands' discographies. Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga built their dark aesthetic from home studios and sheer stubbornness, and that DIY intensity is all over this record. It sits comfortably alongside the brooding post-punk and shoegaze underground that produced Grouper, Lingua Ignota, and anything released on The Flenser. If that world means something to you, this is essential.

This is a numbered limited edition 2LP pressing on coloured vinyl, number 247 of 254. A genuine rarity for the collector who actually listens to what they buy.
