WE HAVE HEAVEN "IT'S A NICE DAY" (2005)

We Have Heaven is the best band to ever come from Virginville, PA in 2009 or Japan in 1972 or outer space in 3789. Much like Sun Ra and Erik Satie, their music does not achor itself to time and space but rather exists outside of the parameters of both their contemporaries and most music in general. "It's a Nice Day" sounds like a recording of the cosmos, a newly unearthed soundtrack to a ride on a shooting star. It feels both beautifully composed and gently tossed off. But the "song" is eternal, beginning already in progress and rather than ending, fading out. Maybe it began a long time ago and maybe it will continue until we're all very old. Or until the world stops and there are no more people to listen.

We Have Heaven is just one branch of the Easy Subculture empire, which is also something that was begun a long time ago and will continue eternally. I was shaped in my formative years by Easy Subculture's xplanet and bethx, dEALERS and Gang Mods of Bethlehem cd-r releases. I hope to always be a disciple of the xEASYx empire.
