A Place to Bury Strangers Share Hold On Tight Video

One comment

I’m really loving the freedom that working through their own label seems to be providing A Place to Bury Strangers; it seems to have provided the band with this ability to sort of remain indifferent to expectations and still play on their own terms. Their latest single opens up with this barrage of noise, thundering upon your eardrums with such power that it’s likely to knock down all the unstable furniture in your living quarters. Still, with walls built of sonic expression, Oliver Ackermann and company hone in on their melodic inclinations, sort of bundled up inside this cocoon of shredding noise. The perfect imbalance if you ask me! They drop See Through You on February 4th via Dedstrange.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (11.15 – 11.19)

Leave a comment

Well friends, this is going to be a short week, and we’ll likely run some stuff today and tomorrow, then take off the rest of the week to detox before hitting the home stretch of the year. But, like every Monday, we like to start things off just revisiting what we were able to accomplish or cover last week…so you know…here we are and stuff. We’ve got some tunes from ATH faves like Papercuts and Abram Shook, as well as some of the acts I’ve been more recently in love with like KEG or Suep. So, browse, enjoy, and hopefully you start off your week on the right foot.

A Place to Bury Strangers Announce See Through You

Leave a comment

Today A Place to Bury Strangers officially announce their 6th studio album, and while that seems like that’s been a long time coming, the band still sound really fresh on their latest single, if not in peak form. Heavily distorted sounds ring out from the get-go, setting an ominous industrial vibe, waiting for Oliver Ackerman to enter the fray as he haunts the song with dropped tone vocals. Thematically, the song is set to tell the story of two lovers who are lost in a city that doesn’t know their name, finding solace in their relationship. Interesting narration, but spot on for the current climate. Be sure to wait until the 2 minute mark when the song opens up and just gets a little sonically deranged, which no one does quite as well as APtBS. Their new album See Through You will hit on February 4th via Dedstrange.

Levitation Reviews: The Black Angels and Much More

Leave a comment

It was a quality lineup that found balance at the headliner. Last Friday at Stubb’s, Levitation hosted Ringo Deathstarr, A Place to Bury Strangers, Kikagaku Moyo and The Black Angels. If you are familiar with these names, you can understand the ups and downs, from groove oriented fuzz, to chaos, to pure psych, to a blend of all three.

Everyone contributed best-of material, whether by playing classics, smashing guitars or just sticking with the hits. Click through to read a few more thoughts and view another rad gallery of photos from the fest.

…BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. I got some bonus coverage of Black Midi at The Mohawk.

Levitation Interviews: A Place to Bury Strangers

Leave a comment

Remember yesterday when I said Levitation is going down this weekend in Austin? Well it started last night and will continue throughout the weekend, so if you don’t have plans, go check out some live music and support local businesses. Not everything is sold out yet, including a nice lineup tonight featuring Black Angels, Ringo Deathstarr, and old time ATH favorite A Place to Bury Strangers. Prior to this night’s event, we sent Oliver our Levitation Festival questions and he was kind enough to answer them. Hit the jump for responses, set times, and music.

A Place to Bury Strangers Announce Hologram EP

Leave a comment

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve gotten fresh new music from A Place to Bury Strangers, but with the announcement of the Hologram EP, we welcome a new track from the band. It begins with some cymbal and snare work, burrowing into the background before the song erupts with squalling guitars; I keep thinking you can hear vocals from new drummer Sandra Fedowitz in there too, but then I go back and forth thinking I’ve been fooled by the group. Oliver Ackermann’s voice is this heavy haunt in the tracks front end, playing somewhere between J Spaceman and the Gallagher brothers (and I don’t mind that). Plus, you get the added bonus of a hypnotic video to accompany your listen! Hologram will be out July 16th via Dedstrange.

The lineup is absolutely loaded with great music with not a single day, or even hour, lacking of some quality live music. For real, this is a lineup ya’ll. As we typically do with festivals in town, we plan to preview a few things for you to help you better plan for the weekend.

New Video from A Place to Bury Strangers

Leave a comment

As this new album from A Place to Bury Strangers begins to take shape before the Interwebs, I’m starting to really be drawn into the goings-on. This track opens up with an emphatic drum march and discordant chords swirling about. Vocals enter in a spoken fashion, with a more prominent role for Lia Simone quite noticeable. The trio let loose on the noise too, but in a much more controlled fashion than we’ve previously heard from the band; it leaves you to focus on the band’s message in this track: “there’s only one of US.” Pinned definitely feels like its that proverbial onion with layers waiting to be peeled; it drops via Dead Oceans on April 13th. They’ll also be part of this year’s SXSW festival…playing near 100 times.

 

A Place to Bury Strangers Return

Leave a comment

I’ve always been a casual fan of A Place to Bury Strangers; I’ve loved some singles, but never felt truly convinced by the fan. That might change if their new single is any indicator of what’s in store on the group’s fifth album, Pinned. They’ve always had a nod to industrial vibes in their craft, but this round, that comes out in a more ominous way; it’s almost like the group are gasping for their last breath as the central guitar groove drives home the minimalistic percussive element. It’s a striking number, surprising in the limited instrumentation…a sign that this new LP could be something special; look for its release on April 13th via Dead Oceans.
