SINGLE OF THE WEEK (07.11.-13.11.)

SINGLE OF THE WEEK:

A Place to Bury Strangers - "So Far Away" [Dead Oceans]
(from f/c EP "Onwards to the Wall", out February 7th)
(available as a free download)

Kādu laiciņu nekas nebija dzirdēts no melodiskās Ņujorkas noise-rock apvienības A Place To Bury Strangers, kas iekrita AMGmusic sirdī ar teicamo 2009.gada albumu „Exploding Head”. Grupas vēsture gan ir krietni garāka. Radusies pagājušās desmitgades sākumā, A Place To Bury Strangers salīdzinoši ātri izpelnījās „skaļākās jaunās grupas Ņujorkā” statusu, 2007.gadā izdodot debijas albumu „A Place To Bury Strangers” un iesildot vienus no saviem elkiem – The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Vēlāk sekoja tūres kopā ar tādām zināmām grupām kā MGMT, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club un pat Nine Inch Nails, kas nozīmēja jau pavisam izkarotu vietu savā lauciņā, pēc kā arī sekoja minētais 2009.gada albums „Exploding Head”. Interesanti, ka, lai arī A Place To Bury Strangers pamatā ir noise-rock/shoegaze apvienība, grupas daiļradē sprauktin spraucas ārā post-punk ietekmes, kas jo īpaši dzirdamas šajā apvienības jaunākajā darbā. Maršējošais un joprojām baudāmi skaļais „So Far Away” ir pirmais singls no 7.februārī gaidāmā Bruklinas trijotnes EP „Onwards To The Wall”.
