A Place To Bury Strangers Release New Single & Music Video "Time"
 
The final single and video from new rarities album
‘Rare and Deadly’
 

 

 

 

 

“A full-on sonic attack.” — Consequence on “Acid Rain,” “Best Songs of the Week”

 

“It was beautiful…and I’m really taken aback by it… a lovely cut.” — Anthony Fantano, The Needle Drop on “Where Are We Now,” “Best Track”

 

"[A Place To Bury Strangers [have] spent nearly two decades delivering punishing noise rock that blends elements of psychedelia, experimental and electronica all into one madhouse; it’s made their sound abrasive and challenging, yet ultimately rewarding." — Austin Town Hall

Rare And Deadly Album Artwork
 
Rare and Deadly cracks open a decade-long vault of raw nerve and sonic chaos from A Place To Bury Strangers. Spanning 2015–2025, this collection of demos, B-sides, abandoned experiments, and forgotten fragments reveals the band at their most unfiltered—caught between breakthrough ideas and beautiful mistakes. Pulled from Ackermann’s personal archive of late-night recordings, blown-out tapes, and half-finished sessions, here the interference is closer, the electricity more dangerous, the edges left jagged on purpose.
 
What makes Rare and Deadly truly unprecedented is that every format tells a different story. The CD, cassette, vinyl, and digital editions each feature their own unique tracklisting, a fractured release strategy that is almost unheard of. No single version contains the “complete” album. Instead, each format becomes its own window into the archive, revealing alternate paths, missing links, and parallel versions of the band’s inner life. It’s a deliberately unstable document: the album shifts depending on how you choose to hear it, mirroring the chaos of its creation.
 
Across these recordings, you can hear the evolution of Ackermann’s restless mind. Some pieces feel like prototypes for future chaos, seeds that later bloomed on studio albums. Others are dead ends—ideas too volatile, too strange, or too personal to ever fit the frame of a proper release. But together they form a secret history of the band, a parallel world of possibilities that existed just outside the spotlight. The tracks contain riffs mutated by malfunctioning pedals, songs born from gear pushed past its limits, or delicate melodies overwhelmed by walls of feedback until only their ghosts remain.
 
Rare and Deadly is less a compilation and more a documentary—an aural snapshot of how sound takes shape before it hardens into something finished. You hear the room, the accidents, the restless experimentation, the immediacy of a moment being captured before it disappears. It’s a reminder that A Place To Bury Strangers has always thrived in this in-between space: the tension between control and collapse, melody and noise, beauty and distortion.

About A Place To Bury Strangers

 

Fans around the world know Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises. For nearly two decades, the singer and guitarist of New York City’s A Place To Bury Strangers has fused post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde experimentation into music that feels volatile and alive. As the founder of Death By Audio, he’s extended that same spirit through his signal-scrambling effects, empowering artists everywhere to push sound past its limits. Onstage, A Place To Bury Strangers delivers a shamanistic experience—immersive, feral, and electrifying—where real-time experiments and sudden breakthroughs collide.
 
While many of his peers have slowed down, Ackermann’s momentum continues to build. In 2021 he launched Dedstrange, a label devoted to advancing boundary-breaking artists worldwide, and refreshed the band’s lineup with bassist John Fedowitz and drummer Sandra Fedowitz. The result is a group that sounds more immediate, daring, and melodic than ever.

Hyd shares new "Watch You Cry" music video

HYD SHARES NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “WATCH YOU CRY”


NEW ALBUM HOLD ONTO ME INFINITY OUT NOW VIA CASCINE

Hold Onto Me Infinity 

http://hydmusic.lnk.to/infinity


(June 2, 2026) - Multidisciplinary artist Hyd (Hayden Dunham) is back to share a new music video for “Watch You Cry.” The Azsa West directed music video is shot in a stunning landscape in Simi Valley featuring Hyd zooming across the open terrain in an ATV and shedding metallic tears.  


“Watch You Cry” is a single off Hyd’s new album Hold Onto Me Infinity out now via Cascine. Weaving between the intimate and the infinite Hold Onto Me Infinity is a powerful testament to music’s ability to cross timelines, physical thresholds, and lifespans, while dancing in between this physical world, and the one beyond. Dunham emerged with a powerful record that channels grief into a study of how love persists beyond the limits of flesh—and through a process of transmutation can be alchemized into heat, rhythm, vapor, and light. The album includes collaborations with SOPHIE, Benny Long, Saint Patrick, Finn Keane, Tjorvi, Marcus Andersson, Michael Bailey-Gates and Bobbi Salvör Menuez. 


Much of Hold Onto Me Infinity was recorded in Iceland, where Dunham was researching lithium and volcanic magma as materials that are volatile and light, yet capable of holding immense energy. Fire recurs as a central metaphor of transformation through its potential to catalyze change and dematerialization. The album closes with the sound of a match striking, referencing a ritual Hayden performed after Sophie and their brothers’ death: burning bouquets left from friends at their studio in order to watch the flowers change forms, their particles drifting up to the heavens.


With Hold Onto Me Infinity there is a physicality reflected in the album’s drum-forward sonic palette, where the vibrations are designed to be felt in the listeners’ bodies as much as they are heard. The album cover, shot by Michael Bailey Gates, reflects this liminal blur between the existential and elemental. Made without artificial effects, it uses a glass sculpture made by Dunham, pyrotechnics, mirror reflections, and a sunset poking through a pierced window to create a portal within the image that holds both this physical reality and another world. This analog approach was a necessity that emerged out of Dunham’s intermittent loss of vision over the past seven years, which made them extremely sensitive to artificial light. This condition continues to have profound impacts on their senses: when their sight receded, other (extra)-sensory skills emerged; when it returned, they felt extra-embodied in their body and the juiciness of being.


Hyd is currently on their North American tour with dates across Montreal, Ottawa, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Portland still to come. The tour will continue on to Europe in October with dates across London, Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen. 


Hyd also recently celebrated the opening of their latest solo art show at Company Gallery in NY titled Never Is Over. Hayden Dunham’s third solo exhibition stages the cosmological tendency towards reconnection through the artist’s most recent explorations in sculpture, video, and sound. The exhibition will be running through June 13th.

Icona Pop Reveal Official Music Video For "Butterfly Feelings." Forthcoming Album RITUAL Out August 14.

ICONA POP SPREAD THEIR WINGS IN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BUTTERFLY FEELINGS” - WATCH
 
NEW ALBUM, RITUAL ARRIVES AUGUST 14 - PRE-ORDER/SAVE
[ULTRA RECORDS / ICONIC SOUND RECORDINGS]
WATCH | LISTEN
“BUTTERFLY FEELINGS”
 
PRE-ORDER/SAVE
RITUAL (ALBUM)
 
Today, multi-platinum, award-winning duo Icona Pop unveil the official music video for their euphoric new single “Butterfly Feelings.” 
 
Watch the “Butterfly Feelings” music video HERE.
 
Directed by Viktor Naumovski and filmed in Macedonia, the visual brings the song’s central themes of transformation, vulnerability, and emotional freedom to life. Throughout the video, Icona Pop emerge from a symbolic cocoon, shedding old layers and revealing butterfly wings as they embrace the exhilarating rush of new love. Surrounded by dancers adorned with butterfly wings, the video unfolds as a celebration of self-expression, liberation, and surrendering to the feelings you can no longer deny.

Lifted from their forthcoming album Ritual, arriving August 14 via Ultra Records/Iconic Sound Recordings, “Butterfly Feelings” (LISTEN) finds Icona Pop leaning into the dizzy emotional rush of falling in love hard and fast. Co-written by the duo, the track pairs futuristic synths, bittersweet pop melodies, and a snappy club-ready beat with the euphoric vulnerability that has long defined the duo’s music. Anchored by the hook, “My heart is beating, do you feel the same?”, the song captures the electric uncertainty and excitement of new love through Icona Pop’s unmistakable high-energy lens.
 
Speaking on the track, Icona Pop shares, “‘Butterfly Feelings’ is a little song about falling stupidly in love. We were thinking of all the times when we had that feeling. You try to deny it in the beginning, but you can’t stop thinking about this person.”
 
The “Butterfly Feelings” video continues the visual world surrounding Ritual, following the release of “Dance To This” (WATCH) and the album’s powerful title track “Ritual” featuring Daya, alongside an official music video directed by Gustav Stegfors (WATCH). Across the album campaign, Icona Pop explore themes of survival, movement, reinvention, and self-reclamation—turning personal growth into something vibrant, communal, and celebratory.
 
Written during a deeply transformative chapter in the duo’s lives, Ritual finds Icona Pop at their most emotionally fearless, liberated, and creatively confident. Across the album, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawoexplore themes of friendship, reinvention, healing, heartbreak, motherhood, and joy—reshaping the dancefloor into a place for release and renewal.


Speaking on the project, Icona Pop reveal: “Healing requires you to slow down and reflect, but you can’t work on yourself 24/7 forever. Eventually, you have to get back out into the world and see what happens. You might mess up—but that could be exactly what you need. For us, the dance floor has always been a place where we find ourselves and each other again. It’s where we can disappear into the music and let go of everything else.”
 
Icona Pop recently announced the first handful of dates from their forthcoming Ritual Tour, which kicks off October 23 in Göteborg, Sweden, with additional shows lined up in Oslo, Stockholm and concluding, November 13 in Copenhagen. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit: www.iconapop.com/tour.

ABOUT ICONA POP
Icona Pop has always represented the ultimate freedom of expression for its two members and longtime friends, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo. Their fearless approach as women and artists has fueled their impact as one of pop music’s most innovative and irresistible multiplatinum, chart-topping forces. Today, they continue to evolve—owning who they are as mothers, creative partners, entrepreneurs, and leaders, while bringing that same sense of empowerment and authenticity to everything they create. Caroline and Aino went from being club kids in Stockholm to commanding clubs, arenas, and festivals around the world. Following an independent grind, Icona Pop first reached critical mass in 2012 with their breakout single “I Love It” [feat. Charli XCX], a generational anthem that went 5x Platinum, sold over 10 million copies, and surpassed 1 billion global streams. Their 2013 debut This Is… Icona Pop earned widespread acclaim and was followed by a run of Gold-certified singles, sold-out tours, and major support slots alongside artists including Miley Cyrus, One Direction, The Chainsmokers, and the late Avicii. Beyond music, they’ve delivered standout performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and America’s Got Talent, and appeared on HBO’s Girls, Saturday Night Live, and as Satin and Chenille in the Trolls film franchise. Known for their dynamic collaborations with Joel Corry, Galantis, Sofi Tukker, and more, Icona Pop returned in 2023 with CLUB ROMANTECH, their first album in a decade, which received critical praise from The Guardian, Forbes, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and beyond. Now, with new music including their latest single “Ritual” featuring Daya, Icona Pop continue to push forward—blending emotional honesty with euphoric, club-ready production. Their music remains rooted in connection, transformation, and the power of the dancefloor, capturing the spirit of two artists at the height of their creative confidence.
