Brooklyn-based noise-rock band A Place to Bury Strangers have announced the Hologram EP, their first release since their 2018 remix album Re-Pinned. The announcement is accompanied by their newest single, “End of the Night.”
This release marks a lot of firsts for the band. Hologram is the band’s first EP with their latest lineup, featuring Ceremony East Coast’s John Fedowitz on bass and Sandra Fedowitz on drums. It is also the band’s inaugural release on vocalist Oliver Ackerman’s new label, Dedstrange.
“End of the Night” is a fuzzy, psychedelic tune that morphs into the band’s signature staticky wall of noise. “John sent me the drum track and challenged me to write a song over it,” says Ackerman. “It sort of came about as a strange stream of consciousness and unknowingly became about the end of the former band and the beginning of the new one. Each layer of the song stripping away the dead skin from the old and regrowing layer and layer of distortion of the new band.”
A Place to Bury Strangers will host a screening of the Dedstrange SXSW showcase this Friday, April 23 at 7 p.m. EST via the label’s Facebook and YouTube pages. In addition to the band’s new lineup, artists such as Holy F—k, Randy Randall (No Age) and Data Animal are scheduled to perform. Fans can also catch the new lineup on the band’s 2022 world tour, with dates further down.
