A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS

NEW ALBUM ‘SEE THROUGH YOU’ OUT ON 04 FEBRUARY 2022 ON DEDSTRANGE

WATCH VIDEO FOR FIRST TRACK ‘LET’S SEE EACH OTHER’ 
UK/EUROPEAN TOUR 2022

A Place To Bury Strangers announce the release of their sixth album ‘See Through You’ on 4th February 2022. It’s not just a return to form for the band, but also a return to their fiercely independent, DIY roots on their own label, Dedstrange. 

Outpacing even their own firmly blazed path of audio annihilation, this 13-track album repeatedly delivers the massive walls of chaos and noise that A Place To Bury Strangers are renowned for. It’s an explosive journey that explores the listener’s limits of mind-bending madness, while simultaneously offering the catchiest batch of songs in the band’s discography. It’s a nod to the art school ethos of the band’s origins, while forging a new and clear direction forward. 

The first single ‘Let’s See Each Other’ is an intimate and disarming love song from a forgotten future. Syncopated memories and deconstructed fantasies of lovers lost in a city that doesn’t know their names. The accompanying video, directed by David Pelletier, features the band destroying the song while imploring people to reunite.

A mammoth new hit. A Place To Bury Strangers are uniting this special cadence of fury, chaos, and immersive raw tonality.

The flawless anthemic new ensemble, “Let’s See Each Other” captures this fearless commitment and energy which exudes through every note, every drum hit, and the vocal harmonies. Amongst this brutalist soundscape, the audience embraces the intimate lyrics cutting through the atmosphere with this lo-fi melody. The huge riffs show the magnitude of this vision. As the darker guitar tones clash with the consistent driving tempo, this epic brooding landscape captivates the listener as A Place To Bury Strangers sculpt this truly harrowing journey filled with a vast array of complex entities.

This is a truly essential ensemble with a crushing influence and lasting impression.

A Place To Bury Stranger’s Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises. The singer and guitarist has been delighting and astonishing audiences for close to two decades, combining post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde music in startling and unexpected ways. As the founder of Death By Audio, creator of signal-scrambling stomp boxes and visionary instrument effects, he’s exported that excitement and invention to other artists who plug into his gear and blow minds. In concert, A Place To Bury Strangers is nothing short of astounding — a shamanistic experience that bathes listeners in glorious sound, crazed left turns, transcendent vibrations, real-time experiments, brilliant breakthroughs. 

And just as many of his peers in the New York City underground seem to be slowing down, Ackermann’s creativity is accelerating. He’s launched his own label – Dedstrange – dedicated to advancing the work of sonic renegades worldwide. He’s also refreshed the group’s line-up, adding Ceremony East Coast’s John Fedowitz on bass and Sandra Fedowitz on drums. Ackermann and John Fedowitz are childhood friends who played together in the legendary Skywave, and the band has never sounded more current, more courageous, or more accessible. 2021’s Hologram EP was the first release from the new line-up – and the first on Dedstrange – and the reaction was ecstatic, with Pitchfork saying that Ackermann had “transcended his gearhead tendencies, gracefully navigating fuzz and feedback loops as well as melodies and hooks”. ‘See Through You’ pushes things even further. Simply put, it’s an epic, instant classic.
