Hologram is the first release from New York Post-Punk legends A Place To Bury Strangers on their own newly formed label, Dedstrange. Hologram is the follow up to their highly regarded fifth album, Pinned, and is a sonic return to A Place To Bury Strangers’ rawest, most unhinged sound.  With songs addressing the decay of connections, friendships lost, and the trials and tribulations of these troubled times, Hologram serves as an abstract mirror to the moment we live in. Written and recorded during the on-going global pandemic and in the midst of the decline of civilization, Hologram is a sonic vaccine to the horrors of modern life.

Hologram EP is A Place To Bury Strangers’ latest release, 3 years after their revered fifth album, Pinned. Recorded by Oliver Ackermann during quarantine, the band is armed with a new lineup and ready to tour the world.  These five songs show the growth and diversity of what can be considered the next chapter of A Place To Bury Strangers.

A Place To Bury Strangers - I Need You (Grimoose Remix)

A Place to Bury Strangers get personal on “Let’s See Each Other,” the first single from the upcoming LP See Through You— out February 4, 2022 on Oliver Ackermann’s label, Dedstrange.

A Place to Bury Strangers kick up a dizzying future-psych racket in a deconstructed robotrippin’ love song for all the right swipers out there.
 
Strobe-lit moments of passion and fury flutter through reverb, fuzz and fog in this hazy romp through shattered fragments of fleeting love in the forgotten corners of New York City.

A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS— “HOLD ON TIGHT”

A Place to Bury Strangers have fun at any cost on “Hold On Tight,” the second single from the upcoming LP See Through You. Mangled guitars, slamming industrial drums and a cathartic chorus singalong propel this uptempo noise-pop ripper dedicated to the grassroots community of true freaks who make this music possible. We’ve come so far.   

“Hold On Tight” hits DSPs on December 7, 2021. See Through You LP to follow on February 4, 2022—only on Dedstrange.

'End of The Night' is the first single from A Place to Bury Strangers’ upcoming EP, Hologram. Released on APTBS’s newly formed label, Dedstrange, it’s a sonic return to the band's most dangerous sound. Bending fuzz guitars wrap themselves around a sonic story of betrayal and friendships destroyed, revealing an intimacy and attitude that is distinctly A Place to Bury Strangers. Debts are paid to the band's influences and it sounds like a biologically enhanced MBV being thrown into the futuristic and disturbing world of Philip K Dick.  “End Of The Night” serves as an abstract mirror to the moment we live in. Written and recorded during the on-going global pandemic and in the midst of the decline of civilization, “End Of The Night” is a sonic vaccine to the horrors of modern life.

‘I Might Have’ is the second single from A Place to Bury Strangers forthcoming EP, Hologram which will be released on their newly formed label, Dedstrange on July 16.  “I Might Have” is a fuzz-soaked sonic disaster in the best possible way. Past reflections collide with the brutality of a disintegrating world, stories of personal trauma, acceptance, and human failings emerge from the rubble of noise and destitute motorik rhythms. This is A Place To Bury Strangers at its most honest and unfiltered.   Hologram serves as an abstract mirror to the moment we live in and “I Might Have” smashes that mirror into a thousand pieces.

I Might Have

A Place To Bury Strangers - I Might Have

Playing The Part is written about how I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and come up with reasons for why they are being bad people. I guess I should learn to notice the signs earlier. Bad people keep on doing bad things. Always best to read the signs as they come about and address the issues when they arise rather than sweep them under the rug and hope they are something that they aren’t.

A Place To Bury Strangers - Playing The Part

In My Hive is about how I’ve let myself get taken advantage of by other people because I just didn’t care at the time, but it definitely has come back to haunt me. It can be tiring to deal with these emotions but it’s best to think about what is going on and work through it.

A Place To Bury Strangers - In My Hive

I Need You is about the overwhelming feeling of being in love. The helplessness, the desire, is like floating on a cloud, in a haze, on a bender. Embrace it.

A Place To Bury Strangers - I Need You

In 2003, Brooklyn’s A Place To Bury Strangers emerged on the scene out of Oliver Ackermann’s psychotropic vision.  Often cited as ‘ the loudest band in New York’,  APTBS is known for their vicious live performances overloaded with all-consuming visuals, experimental sonic warfare, and treacherous stage antics.  

2021 welcomes a lineup change for A Place To Bury Strangers. New members John Fedowitz (bass) and Sandra Fedowitz (drums) of Ceremony East Coast cement the most sensational version of the band to date.  John and Oliver were childhood friends who had played in the legendary underground shoegaze band Skywave, crafting futuristic punk music together. This next phase is a sonic return to APTBS’s most raw and unhinged endeavors, pushed even further into a new chaotically apocalyptic incarnation.

During the on-going global pandemic, Ackermann spent his time building this new band, raising money and awareness for those in need, establishing the record label Dedstrange, designing futuristic space synthesizers for his company Death By Audio, and producing a brand new A Place To Bury Strangers EP.  The new EP, Hologram will be released July 16, 2021, on Dedstrange.  Watch out.
