Could you hear us over that “Wall” of sound? In case you couldn’t, I said A Place To Bury Strangers is coming out with a new EP entitled Onwards To The Wall, and you can now stream it a full week prior to release thanks to Hype Machine!
According to the press release, the disc includes five brand-new tracks and will officially be released on CD, digital, and 12-inch vinyl formats via Dead Oceans on February 7th. The Boston Phoenix calls it “indebted to the pleasures of pressure…a suicide tease,” and KEXP recently made “So Far Away” their Song of the Day.
You can also check out the new video for “So Far Away,” created by band member Oliver Ackermann using a collage of his own Hipstamatic photos. SPIN called the video an “animated flipbook. There are kissing sequences, driving sequences, mustaches, and cameo appearances from both the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Alamo.”
A Place To Bury Strangers have also added new dates to their tour across North America this spring with The Joy Formidable and Exit Music. Those dates can be found down below as well. APTBS will announce European dates at a later time.
