The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die have announced their new album, Dreams Of Being Dust.
The band – Josh Cyr (bass), Steven Buttery (drums, percussion), David F. Bello (lead vocals), Chris Teti (guitar, vocals), Katie Dvorak (vocals, keyboards) and Anthony Gesa (guitar, vocals) – will be releasing their fifth full-length on August 22 via Epitaph, following 2021’s Illusory Walls.
Described in a press release as ‘a violent record for violent times’, Chris explains that, “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.”

David F. Bello says of the meaning behind the track: “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 anytime 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.’”
