Did you know you're legally obliged to start off every A Place To Bury Strangers review with them being the loudest band in New York. It's kind of boring that we have to do that but it sure as hell makes life easier. Alas they're not the loudest band in this office and that's what matters right now as I'm here and not in New York. 'In Your Heart' is their new 7" (looks like a US pressing on Mute) and as ever they've got that Joy Division/Mary Chain/MBV/Sonic Youth thing going on with a genuine rawness going on. I think these guys are really well produced as they have an excellent sound. The song ain't too bad either but I'm more into the loud fuck you sound they make which for some reason is weirdly energising me right now! Am off to do millions of sit ups now....
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

1. Strictly Looks
A Place To Bury Strangers release a strictly limited 7" vinyl edition of In Your Heart on 12th October 2009. The first single off the NY combo’s hotly anticipated new album Exploding Head, itself due for release on 12th October, the single includes an exclusive non-LP track, Strictly Looks.
Band member Oliver Ackerman on In Your Heart: “In Your Heart was written on our last North American tour. During a break in Canada, we went to record in a barn with our friend Graham from Holy Fuck. We started playing this song out of the blue and I thought it was just too damn good to not lay down on tape that day. I feel like it is a great midpoint between the more melodic and rocking sides of this band.”.
