Noise rock legends A Place to Bury Strangers have a new single out that lands squarely in what we expect from them, but only because they have such a wide range of sound. "You Got Me" sounds more like darkwave than we're used to from the trio, but darkwave from A Place to Bury Strangers isn't exactly a pure representation of the genre. They've somehow made darkwave even darker and added a lot more noise. It's jangly and foreboding, without the aggression you typically hear from them. It's a little less noisy and a bit more straightforward, but sometimes that's the best way for A Place to Bury Strangers to surprise you.
Oliver Ackermann says of his band's latest single:
"The 'Synthesizer' in this track is used to create almost flute-like additions to the guitar line. It also creates the sound of a backwards car crash, simulating my heart stopping."
You can watch the video for "You Got Me" below. Synthesizer is due out October 4 on Dedstrange, and is available to pre-order here. For more on A Place to Bury Strangers, check out the artist's website.
