HAVE A NICE LIFE - 'THERE IS NO FOOD' [DEATHCONSCIOUSNESS, 2008]

The atmosphere is a blend of music, light, sound, weather fronts, the breathing of people, the sounds of pencils scratching.
When I listen to the fuzzed-out soundscapes found on Deathconsciousness I get the sense of the recording of this album. History blends with concept, religion, analog and digital recording, vocals, sound effects, and the things listed in the 70+ page booklet: "an old toy piano Tim found," "a shitty keyboard from the 80s."
I can't help but feel that I'm listening to an album that is perfectly intimate with itself and its environment, atmosphere, or aesthetic, and is well off because of it.
