Partygoing is the third studio album by American indie pop group Future Bible Heroes. Future Bible Heroes member and lead songwriter Stephin Merritt was inspired by The B-52's' 1981 album Party Mix! to create Partygoing, conceived as "a party album that only just happens to be largely about drunk suicide, aging, death, loss, and despair."[9]
