A Day in the Stark Corner

A Day in the Stark Corner is the third studio album by the American Dark Wave band Lycia, released on by Projekt Records.

Recording
Mike VanPortfleet has attributed a lack of quality recording equipment as having a profound effect on Stark Corner's sound.

Reception
Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave it 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as being "a series of similar sounding pieces which work wonderfully as an extended mood setter. "

In MK Ultra Issue No. 1, (1995) Peter Steele of Type O Negative said You should be familiar with Lycia. It's dark, ambient Goth music. The last album is called A Day in the Stark Corner. I would like our next album to sound something like this. It is the most depressing thing I've ever heard in my life. If I put it on in the morning when I get up... I'm useless for the rest of the day. It makes me feel like killing myself. It's like, why even bother getting dressed when I can just slit my wrists. Such simple hypnotic beats. Everything is drowned in reverb, yet the emotion comes through so loud and clear. It's just devastatingly beautiful, as beautiful as it is devastating. That's how I want to come through.
