New York’s A Place To Bury Strangers have been delighting audiences for close to two decades now. Led by frontman and guitarist Oliver Ackermann, their notorious blends of post-punk, shoegaze and psychedelia has resulted in stoic commercial success from America to Europe. From the groups’ uncharted avant-garde workouts on 2009’s Exploding Head to the more-recent sixth of See Through You in 2022, it seems that the Big Apple’s underground is very much Ackermann’s playground.

Now their sonic assaults are returning to the fray with previously unexplored, unreleased tracks from said sixth record. With a new year, comes Ackermann’s acceleration in creativity. Via his own newly-assigned label Dedstrange, comes a new single, Don’t Turn The Radio. Alongside This is All For You, it is the third instalment of “The Sevens”, a monthly series of four 7-inch vinyl records on marble white that invites the listener again into the sonic world of A Place to Bury Strangers.

“I thought it would be best to go back to my roots and put out a series of 7-inches the way A Place To Bury Strangers started. That strange weird format where the tracks each speak for themselves; no album context to muddy the water,” relays Ackermann. “These tracks are such a contrast to the way I am feeling now and the current songs we’ve been working on so slip back into this moment in time.” 

See the group at their most raw and personal with uncut deep-dives and hidden gems into the brazen sounds and real-time experimentations of Ackermann’s A Place To Bury Strangers. They have now embarked on an European tour, with a magic Brooklyn date squeezed in May to celebrate The Sevens release on home soil.
