More concise and perhaps more straightforward than their past releases, Have a Nice Life has found new focus and discipline on Sea Of Worry and the album is a triumphant addition to their ever-evolving discography. These seven tracks ebb and flow with noise and melody, and are so well-crafted it's near impossible to get them out of one's head. Have A Nice Life are a band I've always been quite fond of, from their amazing debut album alone they proved themselves to be a band to look out for. However, Sea Of Worry is Have a Nice Life at the peak of their powers: Barrett and Macuga's unmistakable chemistry coupled with a propulsive backing band catapults them into stratosphere. While it is easily their least ambitious and arguably even least exciting project to date musically, Sea of Worry is still a very good record. Dread is the primary theme that is woven throughout this release-the dread of aging, children growing up, and an increasingly uncertain future. As the following for the project has grown, and Barrett and Macuga have aged and faced new life challenges with family and careers, their new album Sea Of Worry reflects just that.
