A Place to Bury Strangers

"A Place To Bury Strangers release their sophomore album, "Exploding Head" via Mute October 6, 2009. The band had one simple goal during the recording process: "The original idea," says vocalist/guitarist Oliver Ackermann, "was to create the craziest, most f'ed-up recording ever."

The result is 43 mesmerizing minutes of pain as pleasure. You'll be checking the levels on your living room stereo from the moment "It Is Nothing" pulls everyone in earshot through a vortex of groove-locked rhythms and back-spun power chords (hammered out by drummer Jay Space and bassist Jono MOFO)."
-[Mute Records (part of EMI)]
Full tracklist for the new album is below.

On October 4th (two days before the album comes out), APTBS will kick off a tour in Philadelphia that lasts through October 30th. They'll make a hometown stop at Bowery Ballroom on October 29th with Dead Confederate and All the Saints. Their last hometown stop was this past Saturday at the Siren Music Festival in Coney Island. More pictures from that show with all tour dates (and all opener information), below...

I think 3:53 went a little overboard there with the generalizations, but APTBS is definitely overhyped bullshit.

3:53 = loser

3:53, if you've never heard of A Place To Bury Strangers you are out of touch.

Great band!

Siren set was fun. Outdoor stage with a tiny PA and a fence that herded the crowd about 20 feet from the band, and they were still loud as all fuck.

Show was kinda lame at the bowery last night.
What happened to their sound, it was kinda quiet.

Posted by Anonymous | October 30, 2009 10:37 AM

the sound was really bad at the bowery show...could barely hear the guitar

Posted by bb | October 30, 2009 10:52 AM

That was a lame show for them. Guitar was mixed way too low
