A Place to Bury Strangers - "Bad Idea"

The musical stylings of A Place to Bury Strangers can be referred to as "chaotic," and that aptly describes their latest single. "Bad Idea" washes over you with a swirling wall of dissonance and noise. It's fuzz and electronic feedback over what could almost be a pop song. The drums are holding everything together, and the vocals are pretty standard for a garage rock song. However, the rest of the song is pure chaos with synths sounding like they're about to erupt and guitars sounding like they're in horrific pain. "Bad Idea" is not background or chill out music. A Place to Bury Strangers are demanding your full attention with this one.

Oliver Ackermann says of his band's latest single:

"[Bassist John Fedowitz] came to the studio with a simple looping drum beat, thinking he didn’t have any good ideas—thus, the song was his ‘bad idea. We each penned some lines on paper, and he sang the ones that resonated. After a few instrumental passes, the recording was complete. The result is an innovative track born from spontaneous collaboration and a touch of self-doubt, turned into something uniquely captivating.”
