A Place To Bury Strangers EP

A Place To Bury Strangers Announce EP Onwards To The Wall New Release Due on Dead Oceans February 7
A Place To Bury Strangers is pleased to announce their Dead Oceans debut release, Onwards To The Wall. The EP contains 5 brand new, pummeling tracks that will melt the smile off a listener's face. The band has also released their first MP3 from the EP, "So Far Away," to the public via Pitchfork. "So Far Away" takes all the pure pop perfection of The Box Tops' "The Letter" and shoots it through with a barely-harnessed dark energy and snarling propulsion. Listen to "So Far Away" Onwards To The Wall packs every bit of the searing sonic maelstrom listeners have come to expect from APTBS. Produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by APTBS themselves, this is the sound of a band in control of making out of control music. Now joined by bassist Dion Lunadon, formerly of The D4, lead singer and guitarist Oliver Ackerman has found a crucial companion in pulling timeless melodies from their jet engine textures. The adroit songcraft that's always been there is brought to the fore, with familiar pop hooks repurposed for maximum carnage. A handful of contemporary bands are currently exploring the new limits of loud. Here, APTBS proves that they have not only been leading that charge, but that they are also evolving and maturing on those front lines. Onwards To The Wall is a fresh, complete artistic statement from APTBS. It’s a new chapter, a prelude for what awaits us on the horizon. It is a taste of greatness to come. Tracklisting: 1. I Lost You 2. So Far Away 3. Onwards To The Wall 4. Nothing Will Surprise Me 5. Drill It Up
	PRAISE FOR APTBS "A Place to Bury Strangers can pull beauty out of eardrum-puncturing bleakness…" -PITCHFORK "...straight-to-the-head industrial rock, bull-rushing into a two-minute coda of pure squall and feedback that's not unlike having hot club soda poured in your ears." -SPIN "Drawing inspiration from shoegaze, classic indie rock, and atmospheric and dark sounds of all stripes...[APTBS have] honed their songcraft as well as their committment to beautiful noise." -ALL MUSIC GUIDE "...now in their eighth year of making cochlea-assaulting rock music in the most classic vein, which somehow achieves the decibel level of a jet engine with the crisp fidelity of a Bose commercial." -CAPITAL NEW YORK
