NYC noise rock trio A Place To Bury Strangers take a harsh look on crumbling relationships on their new album See Through You. amsidst all the fuzz and feedback sarcasm and grief are playing catch. Founder member Oliver Ackermann (vocals, guitar, bass, drums) is joined by new drummer Sandra Fedowitz and bassist John Fedowitz who was part of the act in 2016.
Ackermann's dark thoughts work best when there is an infectious melody trying to come up for air, with subsequent tension garanteeing an intense listening experience. Sonic Youth and The Jesus and Mary Chain are obvious reference points, but APTBS are first and foremost about creating a Wall of Sound that would have scared the shit out of Phil Spector. The psychedelic touches are by no means candy-coloured. See Through You is a journey into darkness and a cry for help rolled into one.
See Through You will released on February 4th (digital) and March 11th (vinyl, CD) via their own label Dedstrange (vinyl, CD). Buy it from their website.
