Comprised of members of CURSIVE (Tim Kasher, lead singer for Cursive), BRIGHT EYES, and LULLABY FOR THE WORKING CLASS, so, you know, you do the math. It rocks, in kind of a weepy way. New album on Saddle Creek doing well

"i live in lincoln which is only an hour from omaha the establishment of the good life. i am only 19 years old, which would cause some reading this to reject my opinion of this album. although i'm young i do have over 300 cds spanning from miles davis to grateful dead and dylan to rhcp and many other independent recordings and different genres. i love music and it is my life and this album means everything to me. every song is flawless in my opinion. i think everyone should have an album to listen to when they need help, this album carried me through a great friend of mine's death and other hardships and that's what i think music is meant for. tim kasher is the most underrated songwriter of today. i believe that once people fall upon his work and give it a try they will understand his genius. the nine ballads that make up this album are irreplacable memories in my life and i hope whoever reads this gives the good life a chance."

"To make a long story short...This cd has not seen the sleeve of my cd case since I borrowed it from my ex about 3 months ago...I was swallowed from begining to end. Track 6 successfully shook the tears right out of me...Tim Kasher's words hit me like a runaway train..."Your son is a glorious mess, who wrecks anything he adores". Wow...This is a magnificent cd...I would highly recommend this to anyone who eats, breathes, feels, has skin, blood, a brain and somewhat of a thought process..."
Warm music for cold harsh nights

"I got to see these guys back in feburary touring with spoon. I felt they stole the show. This is deep mellow dark rock, along the lines of cure, or the smiths, sometimes musically but there in the emotionally, potentionally embarassing, honest lyrics. (The influences show, but take it on a unique direction of sonic sacrifice.) The lyrics are embarassing because they are so stark and vulnerable. The fact that this band is basically one man, makes it known of the genius that is Tim Kasher. Perfect for a generation that did not grow up with the 80's emotional soft supple rock. It is the clever retort one could never think of, when their ex-lover dumped them. The man behind Good Life is in Cursive, which is a completely different, but wonderful band."
So pretty...

"This is one of the prettiest albums I've heard in ages, and it's perfect music to fall asleep to. Tracks 2 and 3 are standouts, but the whole CD is shimmering and sad and lovely. I've been listening to it over and over for weeks, and I'm not bored yet. The singer's voice has an invasive quality; it stays with you long after you've turned the stereo off. Buy this CD; you won't regret it."
This is a beautiful recording

"Novena on a Nocturn is a beautiful, melodious album, but it still retains a glittery pop-esque vibe. Every song is great in its own way, and every song will touch you. "Competition" is one of the best, most emotional ballads I've heard in a long time, and "Happy Birthday" is so close to the exact thoughts everyone has had at one point or another. I highly, highly recommend this album. Listening to it is really an experience."
