In 2009, APTBS shed their 'Psychocandy' influence and set out to find their unique sound. On 'Exploding Head', they focus on creating great songs with clear lyrics. Musically, it's more like Depeche Mode or New Order than J&MC. But as the loudest band in New York, there's still that thick layer of pedal fuzz. Frontman Oliver Ackermann's Death By Audio makes guitar pedals used by big names like Lightning Bolt, Nine Inch Nails, and U2. 'Slipping Away' is the album's highlight, and even after almost ten years, it's one of their most impactful songs. Don't overlook 'Smile When You Smile', 'In Your Heart', or the title track. This is a limited - edition red vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, released by Mute in 2022.
To enjoy this vinyl, first, make sure your turntable is in good working condition. Gently place the red vinyl on the turntable platter and lower the tonearm onto the record. Let the music play and immerse yourself in the unique sound of A Place To Bury Strangers. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After use, carefully put it back in its printed inner sleeve to protect it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help keep the vinyl in good shape for a long time and ensure you can keep enjoying the music.
