A Place to Bury Strangers stream new album ‘Transfixiation’ ahead of next week’s release

February 9, 2015

This week, A Place To Bury Strangers’ new album, Transfixiation, is streaming via The Quietus ahead of its Feb. 16th release on Dead Oceans. Transfixiation is a boldly experimental step forward and comes closest to capturing the intense level of A Place To Bury Strangers’ infamous live shows. It’s the mark of a band at the peak of their powers. Rather than fixate on precious recording techniques and minute details, they trusted their instincts and tried to keep things as pure as possible. If that meant a mess of cross-contaminated microphones and mud-caked mistakes, so be it. Music is much more exhilarating when it’s unpredictable, and from the tortured straight-to-tape transmission of “I Will Die” and molten funk melodies of “Straight” to the violent guitar spasms, cannon-like drums and not-so-idle threats of “Deeper,” this is very much an unpredictable record.

A Place To Bury Strangers will tour the UK in support of Transfixiation starting at the end of March and will be joined by September Girls and more. A full list of tour dates is below.
