The story of The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die is one of expansion, of borders being stretched to wider horizons. From the bedroom-&-basement beginnings of Formlessness through the astral post- emo vistas of Whenever, If Ever, The World Is has grown in both ambition and numbers, constantly finding new distances for their poignant, sparkling aesthetic. Between Bodies, the band's forthcoming EP due out October 7th via Broken World Media, finds the Connecticut indie collective simultaneously reaching the most essential version of their cinematic, twilit sound while challenging both themselves and the listener. A collaboration with spoken word artist and activist Chris Zizzamia, the album pairs compelling, impressionist post-rock landscapes to narratives of death, love, existentialism, and the human condition. |
