Description
2018 repress; Pressed on glow-in-the-dark vinyl. Big Bill’s Blues Vinyl version of theA Place To Bury Strangers‘ break-out self-titled release, originally released on CD in 2007. A Place To Bury Strangers have often been called “the loudest band in New York.” This may very well be the case, but unlike much so-called “loud” rock and roll that’s out there, APTBS is not loud simply for the sake of it. The sonically overdriven sound they’ve accomplished is no clumsy accident, but a carefully-cultivated and well-maintained entity all its own, fostered by an unbridled passion that’s clearly evident in every live show they play and each recording they make. A Place To Bury Strangers does not so much play songs as allow them to pour out. They are songs about longing, heartbreak and confusion played extremely well and at a passionately loud volume. While there are obvious reference points:Pornography-eraCure, earlyRide,My Bloody Valentine, and pre-1990sJesus And Mary Chain, the sound is all their own. On its original release,A Place to Bury Strangerswas named “Best New Music” by Pitchfork, who awarded the album an 8.4 rating.
