Experimental sextet The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die<\/b> has shared details of their new album. ‘Dreams of Being Dust’<\/i> will be released through Epitaph Records<\/b> on August 22nd.<\/p>\n
The Connecticut collective’s fifth album is said to be inspired by a world ravaged and devastated by late-stage capitalism, neo-liberalism and neo-fascism. It’s a sentiment that can be heard on their new single, ‘Se Sufre Pero Se Goza’<\/em>. Featuring vocals from Counterparts’ Brendan Murphy, the track’s title translates to\u00a0“It is suffered but it is enjoyed,\u201d<\/em> and is an energetic blast of post-hardcore that is emphasised by the bittersweet refrain of \u201cWe need more time.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy dad died. Anthony’s (Gesa – guitar, vocals), mom died. The world is a beautiful place, but life fucking sucks a lot of the time,”<\/em> shares lead vocalist David F. Bello on the context of ‘Se Sufre Pero Se Goza’<\/em>. “Writing songs and playing them help us deal with the worst moments, so maybe they can do that for you. If you’re at a hospital or a funeral any time soon, this song is for you. We hope our songs can carve out some minutes of pleasure for you along the way. ‘We suffer, but we enjoy.’\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ‘Dreams of Being Dust’\u00a0<\/i>promises to see The World Is A Beautiful Place<\/b>\u2026\u00a0<\/strong>move away from the post-rock leaning sound of recent records, opting for a heavier side.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the first bands I bonded with Steve (Buttery – drums\/percussion) about was Snapcase,\u201d<\/em> remembers guitarist and co-producer Chris Teti, \u201cbut that was in 2011 when we were this light indie, post-rock-leaning band. But with this fifth album, we just said \u2018Fuck it.\u2019 We\u2019ve done the post-rock thing for multiple albums, and that\u2019s totally cool, but I feel that live it was shifting a little more aggressive already, and I never want to settle.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In addition to ‘Se Sufre Pero Se<\/em> Goza,’\u00a0‘Dreams of Being Dust’<\/em> will also feature previous singles\u00a0‘Augeries of Guilt’<\/em><\/a> and ‘Beware The Centrist’<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n
