"A Place to Bury Strangers Unveils New Single and Album"
A Place To Bury Strangers has just announced the release of their latest single and video, “Song For Girl From Macedonia.” This moving track serves as a tribute to a fan who tragically lost her life, and it is the final single preceding the launch of their new rarities album, Rare And Deadly, set to release this Friday via Dedstrange.
The band’s frontman, Oliver Ackermann, shared a heartfelt reflection on the song’s origins, drawing from a personal encounter during a concert in Macedonia. He remembers the girl who deeply connected with the music and her brother’s kindness, which further highlights the emotional weight of the new single. The accompanying video, crafted by the band’s original projectionist Spencer Bewley, adds an artistic touch to this poignant tribute.
The album Rare And Deadly compiles material from the band’s extensive archives, showcasing a decade’s worth of demos, B-sides, and experimental sounds. It offers listeners a rare glimpse into the raw and unfiltered essence of A Place To Bury Strangers, highlighting the artistic journey through various sonic explorations. This collection spans from 2015 to 2025 and encapsulates the spirit of creativity, often characterized by both breakthrough ideas and beautiful mistakes.
What makes this release particularly special is its fractured strategy—each format (CD, cassette, vinyl, and digital) presents a unique tracklisting, allowing fans to experience the album in different contexts. If you choose to engage with the album through vinyl, for instance, you will uncover an entirely distinct selection of songs compared to the CD or digital versions, creating alternate narratives within the musical universe of the band.
Listeners can expect to hear a range of sounds that reflect Ackermann’s artistic experimentation, including tracks that serve as prototypes for future work or pieces that were ultimately too experimental to fit into traditional releases. The album feels less like a compilation and more like a documentary, capturing moments of creation in their most raw and immediate forms, which embodies the tension between structure and chaos that A Place To Bury Strangers is known for.
With the release of their new single, fans are encouraged to watch the video for “Song For Girl From Macedonia,” as well as previous tracks from the album. This multimedia approach enriches the listening experience, making it an opportunity for connection and reflection.
A Place To Bury Strangers will also be hitting the road for a series of tour dates across Europe in April. From Hamburg to Milan, fans can catch them live as they bring their dynamic performances to various cities. This tour serves as an exciting chance for audiences to engage with the band in-person and experience the energy of their live shows.
Pre-orders for Rare And Deadly are available now, so don’t miss out on this unique offering from a band that has long pushed the boundaries of sound and artistry.
