Often cited as “the loudest band in New York,” Brooklyn’s A Place to Bury Strangers returned last summer with an excellent new EP, Hologram, on founding member Oliver Ackermann’s label Dedstrange.
The band then shocked fans with the announcement of a new full-length album, See Through You, which is already set for release on February 4, 2022.
Today, A Place to Bury Strangers released “I’m Hurt”, the crushing third single and accompanying video from the album.
Following previous singles “Let’s See Each Other” and “Hold On Tight,” the post-punk legends dive headfirst into suffering on today’s dark and explosive “I’m Hurt.”
“‘I’m Hurt’ is the sound of friendship dying,” says Ackermann. “At the time of writing this song, I was going out of my mind dwelling on conflict in my head and beating myself down while trying to rebuild my faith in humanity which is reflected in the actual structure of the song. The drums build with this frustration and a desire to scream with no voice. Listen closely to the vocal phrasing of ‘I’m Hurt’ in the chorus and you can hear the self-doubt and failure I was experiencing at the time.”
The accompanying video, directed by Chad Crawford Kinkle (Dementer, Jug Face), is the first in a series of See Through You videos from horror movie directors hand-selected by A Place to Bury Strangers.
