The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die: Always Foreign
Genre: Post-Rock/Emo/Indie // Label: Epitaph
Background:
With a warm blend of post-rock, emo, and indie stylings, The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die return with their third full-length LP, and their follow-up to 2015’s Harmlessness. Early singles seem to indicate that their genre trajectory will continue down the indie-laden path of its predecessor, but with the lush moments of beauty and the intricate guitar work displayed on that effort, few will likely find fault with that decision.
Check out the 7-minute single “Marine Tigers” below:
