In Your Heart (of Hearts)

A Place To Bury Strangers- Exploding Head

Less scattering arpeggios of distortion, more slow, bruised love is pushed to the brink on A Place To Bury Strangers’ new song, premiered on Stereogum recently in the lead-up to the October 6 release of their sophomore album Exploding Head (out on Mute records). Paying homage to the sonic noise of My Bloody Valentine and the monochrome beats and production of The Jesus And Mary Chain, ‘In Your Heart’ is considerably less electronic than the Brooklyn band’s previous work. The instant love affair of last year’s ‘To Fix The Gash In Your Head”s hazy atmospherics and pummeling guitar channels threatened to swallow you up while a visceral and vicious drum machine beat and rattling synths rode the monotone crawl of Oliver Ackermann’s aloof narration. APTBS have been critically revered in their short life, for good reason. They’re touring the states in October including dates with Darker My Love, All The Saints, These Are Powers and Dead Confederate, plus a UK tour in November and then a spot at All Tomorrow’s Parties in December.
