A Place to Bury Strangers Share Fear of Transformation

Leave a comment

This Friday, the digital version of Synthesizer will be out in the world. And, as this song indicates, A Place to Bury Strangers continue to grow and transform. This song doesn’t pummel you or bombard you with noise, but there’s a ton of weight and darkness, all lurking in the shadows. There is a guitar screeching and crawling through the background, but the majority of the tune relies upon this pounding club rhythm, driving the track forward. At times, it almost feels like its a dance track, something Ministry would have pulled off, which I’m totally here for on my end. New LP hits on Friday via Dedstrange.

A Place to Bury Strangers Share Bad Idea

Your speakers aren’t broken. A Place to Bury Strangers are just here to shred the cones to bits, hurtling razor-sharp distorted riffs at you; they’re running directly at you, smothering the vocals in this cavernous wall of noise. There’s a little bit of respite for you, with shotgun drum hits echoing in the front of the mix while everyone catches their breath. Of course, they don’t stay long pushing your right back to the suffocating realm of noise. Sort of sounds like the bastard child of Sonic Youth and the Black Angels, so I’m digging it. They’re new record Synthesizer is out on October 4th via Dedstrange.

For all the walls of noise and discord they’ve sowed over the years, it’s nice to see that A Place to Bury Strangers still know how to turn a pop trick or two, as they do in their latest single. This tune began with a jagged run of guitar notes, creating a running pattern that has you chasing the track down. Now, just because the wall of noise that typically accompanies the band’s work is pulled back, doesn’t mean it’s all puppies and rainbows; there’s still an industrial darkness to their craft, and it builds, particularly towards the latter half where some of the notes almost seem lost along their path. Nice to still hear a band throw some wrinkles in their craft; looking forward to hearing Synthesizer when it hits on October 4th via Dedstrange.

A Place to Bury Strangers Announce Synthesizer

Leave a comment

This year we’ve seen a slew of singles coming from A Place to Bury Strangers, so it should be no surprise to folks that there’s a new album on the way, titled Synthesizer. Opening with this screeching guitar, you can hear the band drive into the realms of swirling-twirling noise, but beneath that, you hear a charing drum pattern, setting the backbone for what’s coming your way. Wailing walls of noise shatter through the space, but the vocals hang heavy in the midst of it all, shouldering the slight hint at melody as the song churns out discord in magnificent fashion. By pressing play you’ll find yourself straddling the world of danceable rhythms and waves of experimental noise, and you’ll thank us for it later. Synthesizer is out on October 4th through Dedstrange.

ACL Spotlight: Gardens & Villa

Leave a comment

When looking at the ACL lineup, we ATH kids always get really excited about the middle of the day bands.  For starters, those are typically the bands in the prime of their career, coming off a recent well constructed album.  Not to mention that the crowds aren’t quite as big and you’re just getting into that mid-day buzz.  While perusing those afternoon bands this year, I first took notice of upstart Santa Barbara group Gardens & Villa.  Follow the jump for more.
