A Place to Bury Strangers - "Disgust"

New York noise legends A Place to Bury Strangers are moving away from their Sevens singles series to release a new album in October. The first single off the album, "Disgust," is classic A Place to Bury Strangers. It just hits you in the face with a monster wall of sound, and then barrels over you. It sounds like a mixture of the fuzz and noise of Sonic Youth along with the industrial aggression of Nine Inch Nails. "Disgust" is a huge song that is quite obviously not meant for the masses. A Place to Bury Strangers have always been for a more niche audience, but if you belong to that niche, this one is going to melt your face clean off.

Oliver Ackermann says of his band's new single:

 “‘Disgust’ is a song I wrote that was inspired by the way I used to perform ‘Got That Feeling,’ a song by my old band Skywave. There was a long riding open note on the bass that enabled me to play the whole part with my fist in the air.  I wrote this song just on open strings so it could be played with just one hand: dumb and fun.”
