Brooklyn NY, post punk/psych band A Place To Bury Strangers have dropped the video for their latest single "Love Reaches Out".
The song is taken from their new album 'See Through You', released last month (February 4) via Dedstrange. Grab your copy here.
Wispy synthesizers and lacerating chemical burn guitars engage in a heated call-and-response while Oliver Ackermann extends a desperate plea for sanity to whichever metaphysical entity might be listening. “This song is about internally begging to a God when you might not necessarily believe in one,” says Ackermann. “It’s that moment where there’s just a sliver of hope that anything in your head might connect you with the Universe and actually make a change.” Right away, “My Head is Bleeding” gushes from the speakers with pummeling drums and whirring, anxious electronics—preparing listeners for one deafening blunt-force chorus after another. In an accompanying music video from director Travis Stevens (Jakob’s Wife, Girl On The Third Floor), flesh and blood commingle in a pileup of heaving, mysterious biomass as a mechanical womb gives birth to an oily, ectoplasmic form..." “The entire album rips, " says Stevens. "but there's a plea to transform suffering into joy in this song that I really sparked to. In order to emulate the raw unpredictability of an APTBS performance, I tried to create a similar magical combination of flesh, emotion, intuition and technology."
