The group is the enterprise of Oliver Ackermann, who customizes his own guitar pedals and seems to really dig My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus And Mary Chain. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a chillingly retro sound, for sure, but one that hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been beaten to death in the new millennium\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mad rush to cannibalize every form of music from the recent past.<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags:\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/aptbs\">aptbs<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/sanfrancisco\">sanfrancisco<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/california\">california<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zimbio.com\/Oliver+Ackermann\/pictures\/pro\">Oliver Ackermann Pictures &#8211; Zimbio<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">Coachella Valley Music &amp; Arts Festival 2009 &#8211; Day 1<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/aptbs\">aptbs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/coachella\">coachella<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drownedinsound.com\/in_depth\/4136665?shoegaze\">Shoegaze Week: The Third Wave Collective&#8217;s Andy Oliver reassesses the Shoegaze phenomenon \/ In Depth \/\/ Drowned In Sound<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">This almost-fascist view was completely blown away when I heard A Place To Bury Strangers. Seeing them live is an experience in itself and listening to A Falling Sun evoked the same spiritual epiphanies that I had only ever experienced before when listening to the immortal 4AD band Dead Can Dance. People class the band as shoegaze but it was psychedelic to the core. Yet the band class themselves as psychedelic rock.<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags:\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/ernestackermann\/aptbs\">aptbs<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban Landfill: A Place to Bury Strangers, London King&#8217;s College, April 6th, 2009 Don&#8217;t get me wrong, loud noise is still an important part of their sound &#8211; they play it as another instrument in a similar way to MBV &#8211; but there&#8217;s more going on.
