A Place To Bury Strangers remix

A Place To Bury Strangers' "So Far Away" Remixed by School of Seven Bells
More Tour Dates & Details Announced
A Place To Bury Strangers have released a remix of their song "So Far Away" put together by School of Seven Bells. The track is available exclusively at SPIN.com today. The new version lifts Strangers' dark sound towards hazy bliss with gentle vocals from Alejandra Deheza and subtle electro beats.

Listen to "So Far Away - SVIIB Remix"

The band will be touring in support of their recent EP Onwards To The Wall, across North America. Several new headlining dates have been announced as well as a full European tour that runs through mid-May. To cap things off, APTBS will join Metallica at their Orion Music Festival in Atlantic City on June 24th. Joining lead singer & guitarist Oliver Ackermann and bassist Dion Lunadon for the dates will be Robi Gonzalez on drums. The band sent a message to fans, saying:

As some of you may know, Jay Space is no longer playing drums in A Place To Bury Strangers. We salute Jay as having been such an important part of the band and continues to be very much loved friend and brother. We wish him all the best for the future. For the upcoming US/European tour dates we are super excited to be bringing on Robi Gonzalez (Jubilee, Trouble Andrew) as our drummer. We are chomping at the bit to get back on the road and can't wait to see all of our awesome fans again!

The trio will join The Joy Formidable and Exitmusic for most of their North American shows. A full list of tour dates is below.

PRAISE FOR ONWARDS TO THE WALL

"APTBS deliver the noisiest, most jagged fuzz in the catchiest packages..." -ALTERNATIVE PRESS

"Onward to the Wall opens with "I Lost You"...a pummeling onslaught of banshee-wail guitar stacked on top of a chugging motorik bass riff, plus some gnarly, rancid feedback." -PITCHFORK

"APTBS re-arrange the basic elements of Noise-Pop by destroying whatever preconceived notion you had towards the genre. Instruments are merely tools used to test the limits and knowledge of what sonic exploration really means, and Onwards to the Wall resembles the Home Depot at times." -AQUARIUM DRUNKARD

"Onwards to the Wall is, by all accounts, punishing, brutal, bloody, visceral, damning and torturous while retaining a knack for melody and sugar-coated pop songsmithery." -POPMATTERS
