The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die (TWIABP), the Connecticut-based fifth-wave emo outfit, are back with their first full-length album in four years. Dreams of Being Dust arrives August 22 via Epitaph, and it forges a new path for the band — heavier, more urgent, and politically charged.

Previously released singles “Auguries of Guilt” and “Beware the Centrist” will appear on the album, and now the band has shared a new single with guest vocal from Brendan Murphy of Counterparts, “Se Sufre Pero Se Goza". The track title translates from Spanish as “It is suffered but it is enjoyed” — a phrase that could easily describe a generation of TWIABP fans and perfectly sets the tone for Dreams of Being Dust.

Listen below:

Frontman David F. Bello shared this about the new single:

“My dad died. Anthony’s mom died. The world is a beautiful place, but life fucking sucks a lot of the time. Writing songs and playing them help us deal with the worst moments, so maybe they can do that for you. If you’re at a hospital or a funeral any time soon, this song is for you. We hope our songs can carve out some minutes of pleasure for you along the way. ‘We suffer, but we enjoy.’”

Dreams of Being Dust was produced by Greg Thomas and co-produced by guitarist Chris Teti, with mastering by Will Putney. Putney has worked with artists such as Everytime I Die, Norma Jean, and Vien.fm, so in terms of a producer for a heavier album, they picked a fitting producer. According to press materials, the album will feature three guest vocalists, including Murphy.
