The Good Life started out as a means for Tim Kasher to use a songwriting approach that differed from his other projects (namely, Cursive), but it didn’t take long for the solo project to become a band, and for that band to finally come into its own.
The Good Life’s sound has evolved from the refined, quiet pop of the first full-length, Novena on a Nocturn, to the moody hooks of 2002’s Black Out, to the sing-along anthems of divorce and disillusionment found on the recent Lovers Need Lawyers EP. The sum of these parts is found on Album of the Year.
Album of the Year brings all that is the sound of The Good Life to fruition – catchy, moody pop rock that fluctuates between the all-ages club and the smoky cabaret, right alongside sing-along crescendos that spin into cinematic bursts. In short, every song has a plan – every song is going someplace, and lyrically, going there will inevitably involve leaving, being left, or leaving in anticipation of being left. Kasher’s ability to cleverly turn an innocuous phrase into a malicious slur of ill will leaves you not knowing whether to laugh or cry, all the while giving you the distinct impression that you’ll be quoting him at some point down the road. With that said, could Album of the Year just as well be called Break-up Album of the Year? Maybe. But that would limit it to being compared only to other break-up albums, and, well, it can hold its own.
The follow-up to this year’s Lovers Need Lawyers EP features Tim Kasher, Stefanie Drootin, Ryan Fox, and Roger Lewis, as well as a guest vocal performance on "Inmates" from former The Good Life member Jiha Lee.

The Good Life Lyrics
Black Out You try too hard For the perfect beginning You're so let dow…
Don't Make Love So Hard You said you're a wreck, you get so upset You said…
Drinking With the Girls You thought you had it made Like the songs would write…
Early Out the Gate What you're looking for is never what you find Nothing ever…
Empty Bed I hate it when you say you need me. You don't…
I Am an Island Mostly I sleep it off It's easier in the morning To shrug…
Off the Beaten Path Well I'm trying to be patient But the wheels keep turning…
Some Bullshit Escape Called in sick for work Said the fevers getting worse There'…
The Beaten Path Yesterday came and went and I wasn't present The weeks were…
The New Denial I can't do this anymore: Stay in, black out, hit the…
