A Place to Bury Strangers
-
Oliver Ackerman is an absolute genius, by the way. If they come to your town go see them, and don’t sit somewhere with a beer: stand up, put in your earplugs and watch him nurse what will probably be the most diverse group of tones out of his instruments you’ll hear in quite some time.
-
Lead singer Oliver Ackermann’s stand-in-place shoegazing was in stark contrast to the breathless stage-traveling Reznor would later exhibit.
-
Ackerman took a few minutes before the set on Sunday night, to answer 7 questions, for my continuing series Get to Know In 7.

-
Though A Place to Bury Strangers’ albums receive much praise, the best way to experience them is live. Guitarist and vocalist Oliver Ackerman is a tremendous performer; urging an unbelievable range of tones from his instrument, sometimes using nothing but feedback and broken strings against pickups.
-
-
Is pain-punk a genre? If not, APTBS may have just created it. Frontman/guitarist Oliver Ackermann concluded with an exclamation point: ripping the strings out of his guitar and slinging it around before exiting the stage.
-
I really digged the whole flashing lights thing toward the end of the set and Oliver taking the strings out of his guitar. (It looked like was what he was doing. I may be wrong.)
-
Anyways the lead guitarist was manic on his guitar and combined with the flashing lights made the whole performance awesome. The guitarist and drummer were nice enough to sign a shirt one of their only fan’s in the crowd threw to them.

Then I had perhaps the biggest revelation of the festival; New York trio A Place to Bury Strangers. Noisy but melodic music in the vein of Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, they blew me away completely at skull crunching volume. Great songs, great performance.

A Place to Bury Strangers

I’m a sucker for shoegaze… I just love how simple, pretty pop songs get wrapped up in the gauze of noise and distortion. At first listen it could sound cold or alienating, but discernible ears can strip away the noise and find the treasure underneath.
-
The first is from Brooklyn and they’re called A Place to Bury Strangers. I came across their song “To Fix The Gash in Your Head” on the Nine Inch Nails’ tour sampler. It blew me away.
