Fans all over the globe know: Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises.

The singer and guitarist of New York City’s A Place To Bury Strangers has

been delighting and astonishing his audience for close to two decades,

combining post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde

music in startling and unexpected ways. As the founder of Death By Audio,

creator of signal-scrambling stomp boxes and visionary instrument effects,

he’s exported that excitement and invention to other artists who plug into

his gear and blow minds. In concert, A Place To Bury Strangers is nothing

short of astounding — a shamanistic experience that bathes listeners in

glorious sound, crazed left turns, transcendent vibrations, real-time

experiments, brilliant breakthroughs.

And just as many of his peers in the New York City underground seem to

be slowing down and settling in, Ackermann’s creativity is accelerating.

He’s launched a label of his own: Dedstrange, dedicated to advancing the

work of sonic renegades worldwide. He’s also refreshed the group’s

lineup, adding bassist John Fedowitz and drummer Sandra Fedowitz, and

the band has never sounded more current, or more courageous, or more

accessibly melodic. The Hologram EP is the first release from the new

lineup — and the first on Dedstrange — and it’s no overstatement to say

that the reaction has been ecstatic. Ghettoblaster wrote that the band’s

racket outpaced everything to emerge from New York City in the past

decade. Brooklyn Vegan praised Ackermann’s “terrific, emotive” singing,

and lauded the group’s recent commitment to foregrounding its melodies

and lyrics. Pitchfork, Flood, AllMusic: they’ve all lined up to

call Hologram an example of the best work of a tireless band with a deep

discography and an unquenchable drive to create challenging,

unprecedented music. A Place To bury Strangers released their highly

anticipated sixth album See Through You February 4, 2022 to on their

newly formed label Dedstrange to critical acclaim and have been touring

incessantly since then. 2024 brings the release of ‘The Sevens’: four 7”s

featuring unreleased tracks from ‘See Through You’ released monthly

starting in February with Album #7 due in the fall.

FLOOD album review - https://floodmagazine.com/98622/a-place-to-bury-strangers-see-through-you/

"The addition of new elements and perfection of familiar qualities make See Through You a

special album from A Place to Bury Strangers. Even as its attributes rewrite and reject sonic

ideas from previous releases from the band, each song on this album sounds quite different from

the next. A Place to Bury Strangers went out of their way to make this record an eclectic and

diverse range of sounds within a specific style, leaving room for innovation and rewarding

unpredictability."

All Music album review (4.5/5) - https://www.allmusic.com/album/see-through-you-mw0003626128

"Continuing the early 2020s hot streak they kicked off with the Hologram EP, A Place to Bury

Strangers deliver one of their most interesting and intentional albums in See Through You... That

they can create a career peak like See Through You two decades after forming makes them all

the more inspiring."

"Twenty years into the band, Ackermann is still finding new sonic and melodic avenues for A

Place to Bury Strangers, and new ways to make their instruments sound totally insane"

A Place To Bury Strangers - Hold on Tight

Often referred to as “New York’s loudest band” for their booming live shows, A Place To Bury Strangers have been creating their blend of post-punk, space and psych rock since forming in Brooklyn in 2002. Winning critical praise for 2007’s self-titled debut and 2021’s Hologram, the trio are most renowned for the chaos of their live shows, where a tidal wave of feedback, high-impact visuals and guitar smashing are the norm.
