A Place To Bury Strangers

A Place to Bury Strangers are a three piece who play a genre blending wall of sound taking aspects of some of the best bands from multiple genres and moulding them into their own sound. Genre tags I've seen used to describe them range all over the place and it makes a lot of sense; psychadelic rock, new wave, goth, industrial, shoegaze. The list goes on.
They do touch base on all of these though. They sound like some crazy love child of a drugged out three-way between Depeche Mode, New Order & Nine Inch Nails. But one of the members of the three-way were obviously dabbling about with some others for this child to turn out the way it did.

My personal favorite tracks on the album are "In Your Heart," "Smile When You Smile," & "I Lived My Life To Stand In The Shadow Of Your Love." I think the track titles alone give away that this band does write songs on unrequited love and well.. Love in general. For as cheesy as it can be it fits the cold mood that their music leaves from the wall of sound they build. Even they poppy portions of their songs feel cold and lonely. Since discovery I have been every bit addicted to this album so it is time to share the goods.
