Destinos\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith the broader adoption of the internet around the turn of the century, how people would engage with and discover underground music changed forever. As a result of the new digital era, DIY was now worldwide, and no band embraced this new frontier better than Have A Nice Life. Formed in 2000 by duoDan BarrettandTim Macuga, the Middletown, CT-based pair would, throughout the 00s, self-release and share a number of demos and home recordings via early social media channels as well as establish its in-house labelENEMIES LIST HOME RECORDINGS. These first steps set in motionHave A Nice Life’s rise to renown as an icon of underground music in the internet age, culminating with the release of its pivotal 2008 debut album,\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeathconsciousness\u003c\/em\u003e. Through word of mouth and online discussion,\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeathconsciousness\u003c\/em\u003ebecame subject to viral praise thanks to its synthesis of bleak post-punk, lo-fi shoegaze, and carpets of hypnotic drone music. Eventually, this humble self-released project would attain the status of a post-internet cult classic, amassingHave A Nice Lifea fervent online following that the band would interact with in kind.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn an effort to thank and continue to engage withHave A Nice Life’s internet cult following, Barrett and Macuga would regularly share links to old demos, works in progress, and outtakes from the recording of\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeathconsciousness\u003c\/em\u003e. Over time, a group of fans would compile these demos into an unofficial release. Dubbed\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVoids\u003c\/em\u003e, this fan-made compilation several alternate takes of tracks from\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeathconsciousness\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as a handful of early versions of songs that would appear onHave A Nice Life’s two following albums,\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Unnatural World\u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSea of Worry\u003c\/em\u003e. While undeniably reminiscent of their final album version counterparts, the earlier versions of these tracks each feel distinct in a way that makes the moody, decidedly lo-fi aura of\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVoids\u003c\/em\u003ean essential slice of theHave A Nice Lifediscography. Hungry for more from the enigmatic duo, fans swarmed around this compilation, accompanied by loud calls for it to receive a physical release. Seeing that demand and with the band’s blessing, a pair of fan-made tape pressings of Voids would be released viaMusic Ruins Lives, a DIY label run byHave A Nice LifesuperfanThom Wasluck, also known for his bandPlanning for Burial. Between both instances of the tape swiftly selling out and the compilation’s long absence from streaming services,\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVoids\u003c\/em\u003ehas historically been an elusive release to track down, only available in the obscurest corners of the internet or physically on the secondary market at eye-wateringly high prices.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver a decade since its initial, unofficial release in 2011,The Flenseris proud to reissueHave A Nice Life’s\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVoids\u003c\/em\u003efor the first time ever in an official capacity in physical form.
