An Album a Day Keeps the Doctor Away #11: The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die - Between Bodies

Happy day after Wednesday! It be Thursday the 5^th of March and today, as per number 84, I have been listening to Between Bodies by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die.

The World Is a Beautiful Place // Between Bodies 

Our post and indie rock emo parents The World is a Beautiful Place put out this collab record with spoken wordsmith Chris Zizzamia a hot minute ago. I purchased it on bandcamp quite some time ago and never listened to it. So here I am. Listening to it. 

Now let me just start with the fact that the best track they did with Mr Chris Zizzamia is not even on this EP, but I’m counting it here because it made me cry. Go listen to A Note From the Author February 1st to the Author January 1^st. And when you’re done that come back and try and listen to Between Bodies. 

I like some of the tracks here but it’s kind of a lot to get through. A lot to get through in both content and delivery as old mate sounds like he’s gonna cry a lot, and the instrumentals are a little slow, to suit the prose of Chris Zizzamia. But it’s nice. And there’s some beautiful imagery and stories and phrases and writing on this record. Particularly Precipice, which is a verbose, spoken word Redshift by Enter Shikari: 

We’re made up of the same stuff as stars. We are stardust and when we run out of hydrogen and die we will become giants, or super giants, or supernovas and explode. 

That’s paraphrased of course, but I think it’s a very nice thought. If you too, like very nice thoughts and musings set to post rock, check this out.
