A Place To Bury Strangers Share New Single & Video “You Got Me”

New York-based band A Place To Bury Strangers release the new single/video ‘You Got Me‘  from their forthcoming seventh album ‘Synthesizer‘, out 4th October via Dedstrange. Following lead single ‘Disgust’ which “sounds as pleasurable and danceable as it does revolting and mangled,” (Paste), ‘You Got Me’ continues to follow suit. The earworm represents a photograph from a perfect summer of love, lust, breaking out from the pack, and getting lost in the night. In the middle of the track, a field recording from one of those kinds of days on the beach can be heard as a 747 barrels through the sky overhead. Play it loud, and play it now.

‘Synthesizer’ is the title of the album, but it is also a physical entity, a synthesizer made specifically for A Place to Bury Strangers’ seventh album (a synthesizer that you too, can own (in part), if you buy the record on vinyl). In an era of making music where so little is DIY and so much is left up to AI, never setting foot in a practice room or a home studio, making something that feels deliberately chaotic, messy, and human, is entirely the point. ‘Synthesizer’ is a record that celebrates sounds that are spontaneous and natural, the kind of music that can only come from collaboration and community.   

The writing sessions for Synthesizer started in the band’s Queens studio, shortly after the release of 2022’s See Through You. The band re-formed with a new lineup, Ackermann still at the helm, now featuring friends John and Sandra Fedowitz. This new iteration of the band was inspiring for Ackermann, “It felt like a fresh new thing,” he says, “I wanted to write songs everyone was excited about playing.” Indeed, the sense of connectivity is everywhere on the record. Synthesizer very much feels like a record of reinvention, of taking a carefully honed aesthetic and sound and cracking it wide open, gutting it, reimagining it. And of course, to ever so slightly reinvent one’s sound, one must also build a new instrument, thus again the synth in question. The resulting record is one that is romantic, colourful, loud as hell, and one of A Place to Bury Strangers’ most live-sounding records to date.
