The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die return October
17 with Dreams of Being Dust, an album that fnds the Connecticut-formed
collective plumbing the depths of emotional ruin and emerging with their
most scorched, unrelenting work yet
Co- produced by guitarist Chris Teti (Fiddlehead, Anxious) and Greg Thomas (END,
Misery Signals), the album exchanges the band's usual sprawl for something more
serrated--folding djent-like heft and post-hardcore volatility into their post-everything
DNA.
Dreams of Being Dust is the band's ffth studio album, and follows up their wellreceived 2021 album, Illusory Walls, which arrived as their "heaviest, proggiest, most
audacious release to date" according to Stereogum. Tack ling complex social and
political themes like religion and capitalism, Pitchfork praised its scathing indictments
as "fuming with resentment for the ruthless greed and self- interest fueling societal
collapse. If Illusory Walls was their grand reckoning, Dreams Of Being Dust is the
aftermath: raw, furious, alive.
But even amid the chaos, the band's core remains intact-- a belief in community,
resistance, and making sense of the world through sheer volume and vulnerability.
TWIABP have always blurred the lines between hope and despair, and here, that
duality feels sharper than ever. Now a decade in, the band-- David F. Bello (vocals),
Chris Teti (guitar/ vocals), Joshua Cyr (bass), Katie Dvorak (synth/vocals), Steven K.
Buttery (drums), and Anthony Gesa (guitar/ vocals)--deliver a message that sounds
less like a eulogy and more like a rallying cry.
