A Place To Bury Strangers’ new album, Transfixiation, is finally out now on Dead Oceans after streaming in full all of last week via NPR Music’s First Listen series. Having previously shared “We’ve Come So Far,” one of the many standout tracks onTransfixiation, the band is following it up with an official video directed by Matt Conboy. Having cofounded Death By Audio with frontman Oliver Ackermann, Conboy wanted to make a video that gave the viewer the visceral experience of seeing the band. He says, “The fact that we were loosing our home [Death By Audio], that it was the last show and APTBS were playing seemed like too good of an opportunity to turn down. We filmed their set and I felt like we were able to capture the spirit of that moment: this weird, dark form of celebration and catharsis. By the end of the night I think everybody felt like they really got something out of their system.” The video offers an exciting glimpse into A Place To Bury Strangers’ pummeling live show, which they’ll bring on the road starting this week. A full list of tour dates is below.
