For those who might have listened to and enjoyed Have A Nice
Life and Giles Corey that I posted here a few months back, here’s the record
label’s site. I normally wouldn’t go out of my way to advocate record labels, but they’re operating in a ‘do it yourself’ style and I’ve got a lot of
respect for that.
They’ve got a pretty interesting philosophy about how the
internet has affected the music industry and has steered into a desperate clamour
for attention in the form of friends/likes etc rather than assisting in artist
collaboration and the creation of some truly unique stuff. Along with this; the
belief that one guy in a bedroom can create music just as good as the best a
label has to offer. An interesting theory and one that I’ll proudly advocate if
the next Have A Nice Life release is as amazing as the first.
Check it out in the ‘About’ section, it’s a decent read. I
think there’s a few strong and interesting points made on the site, but there’s
a part of me saying they’re taking it all very seriously. Perhaps too
seriously. It’s an indication of passion however and I respect that in any
form.
What’s more, they have free album downloads that you can get
off the site. The digital versions of the albums are a pretty sweet $5 too. The
type of music that can be found here is darker stuff, much like Have A Nice
Life, Giles Corey and a lot of other related projects. I guess if you had to
throw a few genres around, the top three words I’d use would be alternative,
experimental and (well four words now) black metal.
I think over the upcoming weeks, I’ll get some of the free
downloads and give them a quick review. Maybe do an Enemies List edition. If
you know any other record labels giving out free downloads (that don’t chug
dong) then I’d like to hear from you so I can review more albums…
