TWIABP – “Body Without Organs”

Jason Tate Nov 29, 2016

The World is a Beautiful Place… have released their new song, “Body Without Organs,” with all proceeds from the track going to the ACLU.

While this track didn’t seem to fit on Harmlessness, the feeling it evokes seems more appropriate to recent times. The artwork for the song [by Dylan Balliett] depicts a modern-day Terracotta Army being torn down. It’s unsettling to see the voices of positive change in the community around you get drowned out within a world of dated and regressive ideals. In an effort to help make those voices of change heard, we’re permanently donating all the Bandcamp proceeds from this track to the non-profit and nonpartisan group the ACLU.

You can pick up the song on Bandcamp.

Review: The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die – Whenever, If Ever

Drew Beringer Jun 18, 2013

Everything you need to know about Whenever, If Ever – the debut full length from The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die – is right there in the image gracing the album’s cover. It’s a snapshot of exuberance and carefree youth – the idea of jumping off a cliff into the unknown is met with I don’t give a fuck enthusiasm perfectly sums up the ten track record. Even the album title possesses that attitude.

Throughout Whenever, If Ever, The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die (you best believe I’m abbreviating the shit out of this name for the duration of this review) takes plenty of lefts in its music when you’re expecting rights. Post-rock tendencies are met with horns-aplenty and juxtaposed against incredibly catchy pop-punk-esque hooks. TWIABP’s thorough aggressiveness is exhilarating from beginning to end. The album’s sleepy intro, the two-minute “Blank #9,” is tasked with bringing what’s so endearing about TWIABP to life, as it leads into quirky guitar opening of “Heartbeat In The Brain” before the avalanche of instrumentation rushes into our ears.
