Have A Nice Life release cover of Low’s ‘When I Go Deaf’ as part of the tribute album from The Flenser & Friends, Your Voice Is Not Enough, which is out later this year.
Have A Nice Life share their haunting, lo-fi take on “When I Go Deaf“. Tim Macuga of the band comments:
“I joined an America Online mixtape exchange as a teenager when my mom first got us internet. The older gentleman I was paired with sent a tape I still have with mostly tunes by Low, Swans, and Godspeed. I sent him 40 youth crew hardcore tracks and I think he bummed.”
Your Voice is Not Enough stands as a heartfelt tribute to Low. It is a project born out of a conversation with Planning For Burial’s Thom Wasluck and The Flenser. Inspired by the beauty of Low’s discography, what began as a discussion on ranking favourite albums blossomed into a collaborative effort that brought together the close-knit group of Flenser artists and friends.
Unfortunately, the compilation took shape before the tragic passing of Low’s Mimi Parker, and in honouring her legacy, they dedicate this album to her memory, celebrating the profound impact she left on the music world.
The tribute, Your Voice is Not Enough will feature eight cover songs by Flenser artists and friends: Cremation Lily, Holy Water, Midwife and Amulets, Allison Lorenzen, Kathryn Mohr, Planning for Burial, Drowse featuring Lula Asplund, and Have A Nice Life.
