A place to bury strangers, NYC loudest rock band (though i'm sure that accolade belongs to Sonic Youth) return with their second LP 'Exploding head' with an emphasis on 'Total sonic annihilation!'. A Place to bury strangers (APTBS) have the uncanny ability to purge from the most likely of places (shoe gazing rock, Goth, 80's synth rock and pop, 80's british psychedelia) and transform those influences into a massive american rock assault. It's the ability to streamline and simplify these styles is APTBS greatest strength as a band and they do it rather well. Single 'In your heart' is the best example of this theory in action, they take the best elements of Joy Division and ramp everything up to great effect. The guitars are wildly frantic in Kevin Shield's kinda, the bass playing is pure hooky and the drums sound like all machine like with the added heaviness of them being played by a real human. As well as being obscenely loud they also show a keen ear for melody which is apparent on 'Keep slipping away' and 'Losing feeling' as well as the aforementioned single. The recording is impressively loud and screechy, especially on 'Ego Death' where we are treated to some super wailing guitars and some intense sonic manipulation. A great record that will appeal to shoe-gazey, gothy types and anyone with a love for both Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine at the same time.
