Formed in 2000, it's been a long road to where they are now: Deathconsciousness is the product of their musical endeavours during a five-year period. Have a Nice Life is essentially the Connecticut-based musical partnership between two friends, Tim Macuga and Dan Barrett. Did I think that there was a certain element of pretension to it? Undoubtedly.

Did I think that it was an overambitious statement? Of course.

After hearing much enthusing from one or two people on a music forum I posted on, I glanced at the band's website which held the bold claim "The band Have a Nice Life would like to announce that they have recorded the most depressing record in the history of music". This time last year I made one of the most surprising and unexpected musical discoveries I've had in a long time.
