iTunes Review

With three years separating this EP from the group's previous album, Exploding Head, the NYC shoegazer band A Place to Bury Strangers shows modest growth and a complete conviction to its sound. The band specializes in a molten ambience, but it's pure, beautiful confusion that drives "So Far Away" (a track so densely layered that it's impossible to gather your bearings). The title track makes it seem like Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order has taken over bass duties (it's actually new bassist Dion Lunadon, formerly of The D4) before the vocals wash over in abstract harmony. The heavy reverb and deliberately murky mix make for powerful bedfellows, since all that truly matters is the gestalt. "I Lost You" moans in the moonlight while the band imitates a whirring blender. "It'll Be Alright" turns things a darker shade of rust; vocals emit from an anonymous vaporous void, and the band pummels feedback into a glorious noise. "Drill It Up" turns up the industrial sturm and clang.

Intense

Intense, dark without being depressing, beautiful, pure rock energy.

another great fuzz rock of noise gem by APTBS

they guys simply keep pushing forward with their fuzzed out/noise rock. I love the vocals on Onwards To The Wall. Everytime they come into my town I see them. Their live show is completely off the wall….kills…..well done Oliver….

Biography

Formed: Brooklyn, NY

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '00s, '10s

Drawing inspiration from shoegaze, classic indie rock, and atmospheric and dark sounds of all stripes, the Brooklyn-based A Place to Bury Strangers consist of Oliver Ackermann, Jay Space, and Jono Mofo. Forming out of the ashes of the likeminded Skywave, the band has a darker, slightly heavier, and more experimental approach than its previous incarnation. The trio made a splash in 2006, recording and playing gigs with Read Yellow, Bravo Silva, the Funeral Crashers, and the Brian Jonestown Massacre....
