The 2006 album "Half-Sick Of Shadows" showcases Conscience's signature blend of garage rock energy and introspective songwriting. This independent release is notable for its unpolished production, characteristic of the era's lo-fi aesthetic.
- Recorded in 2005, "Half-Sick Of Shadows" was produced by the band members themselves in a home studio setup. The album was initially released on CD by the independent label "Shadow Records" in July 2006. It gained moderate traction within the underground indie rock scene, with some positive mentions in small music zines.
- This release features 12 tracks that explore themes of urban alienation and existential angst, delivered with Conscience's trademark gritty vocal style. The album's guitar work is intricate yet driving, a hallmark of their distinctive garage rock sound. Conscience supported the album with a series of live shows in small venues across the West Coast.
- "Half-Sick Of Shadows" was Conscience's third full-length album, following their 2003 release "Fading Echoes." It was made available digitally in 2009, expanding its reach beyond the initial CD pressing. The album's artwork, a black and white photograph of a desolate cityscape, reflects the music's darker themes.
Conscience is an indie rock band from San Francisco known for their raw, guitar-driven sound. "Half-Sick of Shadows" arrived during a period of significant output for the band, following a string of earlier releases on independent labels.
