:: Release Notes:
::
:: Killer Pimp will release a 10-song CD from A Place To Bury
:: Strangers, who bear the title of "New York's Loudest Band," on
:: August 13th, 2007. These songs have been recorded over the last
:: few years and for the first time are presented on a fully
:: mastered CD, completely uncompressed in their full glory as they
:: are meant to be heard. Only 500 will be available directly from
:: Brainwashed.
::
:: 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-era Cure,
:: early Ride, My Bloody Valentine, and pre-1990s Jesus and Mary
:: Chain, the sound is all their own, in part due to
:: singer/guitarist Oliver Ackermann's day job of building custom
:: guitar pedals (see deathbyaudio.net). Coupled with the solid bass
:: of Jono Mofo and the relentless drumming of Jay Space, the APTBS
:: team is a force to reckon with.
::
:: These ten songs have been floating around for years on CD-Rs sold
:: at shows and MP3s circling around the Internet, but are presented
:: here uncompressed in their full glory, professionally mastered
:: for CD. From the time that Killer Pimp first approached APTBS to
:: release these songs until the time of the release, interest in
:: the band has exploded, they have played South By Southwest, and
:: have been offered recording deals with bigger sized labels. We're
:: excited to release these songs because even as self-recorded
:: tracks they are all blistering, intense, energetic, and powerful.
:: Once again with this release, we will only have 500 copies to
:: sell and we anticipate them selling fast.
::
:: At the time of release, many of these songs are being given new
:: treatments for a wider release on a larger label. This disc
:: serves as a document of the songs dirty and raw early
:: incarnations and will no doubt become a collectors' item over
:: time.
::
:: "If the modern electro-opulence of The Faint and the stark,
:: attacking wall of sound-scapes of the Jesus & Mary Chain ever
:: made eyes at each other in the dank corners of a smokey club, New
:: York city's A Place To Bury Strangers would be their one night
:: stand love child. The NYC trio have taken cues from JAMC's
:: earlier years of ear-blowing feedback made into warped melodies
:: and the sexy swagger and slither of bass-fueled synths. The
:: lyrics follow suit with the stripped down simplicity of a Buddy
:: Holly song gone wrong with so simple its clever lines like, "I
:: wanna mess you up / I wanna beat you up"." - Filter
::
:: "The image of rock 'n' roll turned inside out: all the ugly
:: viscera spilling out in an excess of anger, ghostly melodies, and
:: crushing noise." - Lucas Schleicher, Brainwashed
::
:: "Warning to the close minded: this is unlike anything you've ever
:: heard." - Free Indie
