A Place To Bury Strangers New Video

• 7th Oct 2008

It has been a whirlwind few months for the Brooklyn based trio A Place to Bury Strangers, whose next single, a double A-side of ‘I Know I’ll See You’, and its dance remix by The Clapp will be released on Rocket Girl Records on 20th October. This is a taster of November’s release of the band’s self-titled debut album featuring five bonus tracks, out on 3rd November. The band will return to Europe in November to support fellow Brooklynites MGMT.

After wowing at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival early this year (where NME declared them one of their top ten bands of the festival), they found themselves England’s hottest ticket.

Back home in the States, the band will spend the end of the summer supporting Nine Inch Nails and The Dandy Warhols across America, and so their creation of what seemed like a somewhat inaccessible aural attack of white noise has become the freshest sound on the circuit.

A dark metallic ring of the gritty tin of guitars, I Know I’ll See You is a saw-soaked raw track, fusing Factory Records-esque mystery with addictive pulses of eardrum piercing austerity. Static-laden sonic qualities create sounds that evolve to sound like a slinky Werewolf attack of saturated distortion; hardly surprising given front man Oliver Ackermann’s sideline building hand-wired guitar pedals.

A Place to Bury Strangers are Oliver Ackermann (guitars, vocalist), Jono Mofo (bass) & Jay Space (drums).
