A story has a beginning, a middle, and a cleanly wrapped-up ending. Whether told around a campfire, read from a book, or played on a DVD, a story goes from point A to B and then C. It follows a trajectory, a Freytag Pyramid—perhaps the line of a human life or the stages of the hero’s journey. A story is told by one person or by a creative team to an audience that is usually quiet, even receptive. Or at least that’s what a story used to be, and that’s how a story used to be told. Today, with digital networks and social media, this pattern is changing. Stories now are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable. And they are told in new ways: Web 2.0 storytelling picks up these new types of stories and runs with them, accelerating the pace of creation and participation while revealing new directions for narratives to flow.

There were some really loud performances during KEXP’s live broadcast from Gibson Showroom during the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon — from bands like All The Saints, Johnny Foreigner, and Freshkills — but undoubtedly the loudest of all came from A Place to Bury Strangers, a group whose extreme decibel level had even caused the NYC police to shut down a CMJ club show earlier in the week!

Eschewing any notions of revolution in favour of evolution, A Place To Bury Strangers have moved the scuzzed-up possibilities of 21st century rock’n’roll to where it should be – louder, brasher and with the ability to upset firmly in place. The album largely succeeds because of its honesty.

“Screaming out of New York City at a million decibels an hour, A Place To Bury Strangers trade in unrelenting bursts of feedback, elliptical basslines and clinically brutal drum fills.†That’s how Rock Sound describes APTBS latest opus (which has finally been given a UK release through Rocket Girl) in this month’s issue and gives them 9/10 for it. Not bad, eh

A Place to Bury Strangers’ self-titled debut LP sets tinnitus-inducing noise-pop against atmospheric echo chambers and sweet, tear-jerking melodies. The mix of blown-out guitar, reverberating basslines and beautiful chord sequences creates a heady treat from New York’s supposedly “loudest†three-piece. From the majestic opening track Missing You to the haunting, romantic Don’t Think Lover, this is ear-shattering bleakness wrapped round slender, gentle indie-pop tunefulness. An astounding first album.
