The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have announced their next album: Dreams of Being Dust is due August 22 via Epitaph Records. It features the previously unveiled track ‘Beware the Centrist’, as well a harrowing new song called ‘Se Sufre Pero Se Goza’, which translates to “It is suffered but it is enjoyed.” Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.

Opening up about the new song, lead vocalist David F. Bello said in a press release: “My dad died. Anthony’s mom died. The world is a beautiful place, but life fucking sucks a lot of the time. 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.’”

TWIABP is now six-piece also featuring founding member Josh Cyr (bass), Steven Buttery (drums, percussion), Chris Teti (guitar, vocals), Katie Dvorak (vocals, keyboards), and Anthony Gesa (guitar, vocals). “One of the first bands I bonded with Steve about was Snapcase,” Teti recalled, “but that was in 2011 when we were this light indie, post-rock-leaning band. But with this fifth album, we just said ‘Fuck it.’ We’ve done the post-rock thing for multiple albums, and that’s totally cool, but I feel that live it was shifting a little more aggressive already, and I never want to settle.”

Teti co-produced Dreams of Being Dust with Greg Thomas, who worked on the band’s last album, 2021’s Illusory Walls.
