TWIABP Assorted Works

TWIABP release new 'Assorted Works' compilation; tour starts soon

In addition to their three full-length albums (the latest of which came out two years ago), The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die have put out many splits, EPs, and other random songs over the years, and today they released a compilation with odds and ends from all throughout their career called Assorted Works. The description reads:

Assorted Works is a collection of rarities built from splits, EPs, and rare releases from throughout their expansive ten year career. The ever-evolving group The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die formed in 2009 in Willimantic, Connecticut. The group has gone through multiple lineup changes but eventually centered around a core of vocalist David F. Bello, bassist Josh Cyr, keyboardist/vocalist Katie Dvorak, guitarist Chris Teti, and drummer Steven K. Buttery. The group released a series of demos, singles, and EPs as well as a split LP with friends Deer Leap before releasing its debut full-length, Whenever, If Ever, in 2013. A collaboration with poet Christopher Zizzamia, the Between Bodies EP appeared the following year. EP Death To New Years was released in 2015, followed closely by their sophomore LP, Harmlessness. The Long Live Happy Birthday EP was released in 2016, and the band then came out with its third LP, 2017’s Always Foreign.
