Our Take

The latest offering from the ever-awkwardly named collective WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE, "Illusory Walls," is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you questioning your own existence while simultaneously wanting to dance like no one's watching.

With a sound that can only be described as if The Cure and Arcade Fire had a lovechild raised on a steady diet of post-punk and indie rock, this album is a whirlwind of melancholic melodies and anthemic choruses that will have you reaching for a tissue one minute and a pint of beer the next.

Tracks like "Queen Sophie for President" and "Invading the City" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and infectious energy, while the hauntingly beautiful "Warden" and "Blank Patches" transport you to a dreamlike state where nothing is quite as it seems.

But don't be fooled by their whimsical name and quirky song titles - underneath the playful exterior lies a depth and complexity that will leave you pondering the meaning of life and the universe for days on end.

So if you're in the mood for some heartfelt introspection mixed with a healthy dose of indie-rock goodness, look no further than "Illusory Walls" - the album that proves that even in a world of chaos and uncertainty, beauty can still be found in the most unlikely of places.
