Lately I've really been harking on Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life. It's probably the most emotionally powerful album I've ever heard. And it sounds so distinct. Sort of like shoegaze, but not really. Sort of like drone metal but not really. The drums being just slightly off beat at just the right moments, the subtle use of electronics, the brilliant structure. It's really a brilliant work of art.

Oh man, Bloodhail is such a fantastic song.

Have you heard the new stuff by Giles Corey? They recently added a live set and an EP to their bandcamp.

It's been on my list for a while. I'll get around to it soon. I'll probably skip a few gigs I've got waiting and listen to it the next night that has the right sort of vibe. I can only listen to Giles Corey at night when I'm feeling tired but not sleepy and a little crazy.

I'm not familiar with Have a Nice Life. For the uninitiated, where would you begin?

Deathconsciousness is their only full length album out. There's another that's allegedly in production, but I'm not believing it till I see it.

Dan Barrett also has some good stuff released as Giles Corey, but nothing quite as good as Deathconsciousness, if you ask me at least.

Ok, guess I'll just dive in then!
