About the album

Having made one of 2023's most talked-about indie records, Rachel Brown and Nate Amos went bigger in subject and, if anything, shorter in length. It's A Beautiful Place spends about 29 minutes on how small we all are next to the universe and how much we matter anyway, with nods to Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed and a sense of humour that keeps the big questions from getting heavy.

"Life Signs" opens at a sprint and then floods over, "Born 2" comes in on a wall of guitar that Clash's Amelie Grice compared to My Bloody Valentine, and "Playing Classics" is about as close as this band gets to a dance-floor anthem. They toured it across North America and Europe through the end of 2025. Existential dread has rarely been this catchy, which is not a sentence we expected to write on a record listing.
