Five months later, a few questions have been answered, but the answer to most of them remain unknown. I didn’t even know it would be the last time I would visit it. When the clock struck 6pm on March 12th and I walked away from The Met Breuer on my last visit, much was unknown. The Met two months deep into its “temporary closing,” seen on May 21st.

I started NighthawkNYC to share what I've discovered along the way- as Steely Dan put it so well. Anyway.Art and Music are my twin passions, and have been for a very long time. I named this site NighthawkNYC in homage to Hopper’s immortal Painting, and that figure that no one ever talks about. As much as any work of Art I've ever seen is. Well, that figure, sitting with his back to us is. I felt like I was standing next to my soul. Here, I’m standing in front of the REAL Nighthawks, Edward Hopper's Timeless Masterpiece from 1942, at the "old" Whitney Museum during the Hopper Drawing Show in 2013. Welcome to my site. Here I am as you'll find me most times- out somewhere in NYC, listening to Music and looking at Art. Komusō - Luck Will Be On Your Side This Week EP PR.Good evening! I'm Kenn Sava, the Denizen of.The two musicians comprising Have a Nice Life are also active in many other projects, most notably (and also recommended) Dan Barrett's Giles Corey, who released an incredible LP in between the two Have a Nice Life albums. Additionally, they have also released one EP ( Time Of Land) and two compilations that contains b-sides and demos from throughout their career that were not included on their two studio albums. It still reaches incredible heights, and puts the listener in a mood torn between life-affirming and death-approaching. It follows a similar aesthetic to their debut, but with a significantly shorter run-time. Their debut album was the sole occupant of a desolate island until 2014, when Have a Nice Life released their follow-up album, The Unnatural World. To cut this short and avoid further ranting, just listen to this album. Even the bands often cited as being its influencers (Swans, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine) don't really capture the same sounds that Have a Nice Life do on this album, and those are the titans of their respective genres. It's truly cut from its own cloth, and there hasn't been a record before or since that can truly compare to it. The production and recording quality is another major contributor to the feel of this album, with it being recorded for less than $1000, giving it a lo-fi sound that still feels full, warm, and organic. It's an album that stands on its own without any clear contemporaries, which is fitting considering the isolating nature of the music. By the culmination of the album in the final minutes of "Earthshaker", it's hard not to be truly moved, like standing on a mountain of solitude watching your life flash before your eyes. I consider it to be one of the most personally affecting works of art ever made, and (as cliché as it sounds) sitting alone listening to Deathconsciousness in a dark room is an experience (as pretentious as that sounds). In its near hour and a half run-time it explores a litany of expansive sounds, themes and emotions, making the final project a work of absolute genius. The band blends elements of post-punk, shoegaze, post-rock, industrial, drone, doom, and ambient music to create one of the darkest, depressing and most existential records of all time. Since their formation, they have been sparsely active, but have garnered a cult following thanks to their incredibly unique style of music and magnum opus, 2008's Deathconsciousness. The band consists of Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga. Have a Nice Life are a two-piece experimental rock band from Middletown, Connecticut that began in 2000.
